For the 4th of July this year we went to the Cumming Steam Engine Parade. McKay got to be in it because of Children of the American Revolution (we just filled out the paperwork, so we aren't official, but they let him come anyway).
Dad and I sat with the Walkup family for the parade. They were nice enough to share their noise cancelling headphones. Those steam engine whistles are SO LOUD and there are a lot of them.
Children of the American Revolution got stuck at the back of the parade right before the Jeeps.
This guy looked awesome.
McKay was thrilled with the Paul Revere hat he got to wear.

Their float was "Washington Crossing the Delaware."
I love the 4th of July. All the patriotism everywhere and people wearing red, white and blue. It's the best.
Loud steam engines.
This one had an organ attached and this cute little kid was playing all of his piano lesson songs. It was awesome.
I never know what to think of the confederate flags. Racist or history? Probably both.
Washington crossing the Delaware.
The whole group.
They got to hand out candy, flags and fans.
After the parade, we went to Cracker Barrel with the Walkups, then we went home and watched Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (so good!)
We then did our annual fireworks with Walkups.
Greg did his fireworks and there was a malfunction.
This is what the boys looked like when the firework went crazy. It almost hit us!

McKay and his buddies Ethan and Finn. McKay has always had the best friends!
