4th of July
When we got news that Summerville was having a family parade on the 4th of July, Kennedy and I right away knew what we wanted to do. My mom had put my older brothers and sister as a choo-choo train in a parade when they were little kids and after years of staring at their picture in the hall, I was excited to have my own kids join in the fun. We spent the week shaping and painting cardboard boxes. Our little train turned out quite cute and kids had a blast painting them. The bosses of Summerville must have liked our little train too because it won the prize for "Most Original" entry into the parade. The kids got cute Uncle Sam hats, a gift certificate to use downtown, and their picture in the paper (if you'd like to see the pictures from the paper they can be found at www.summervillejournalscene.com). Independence Day was a fun day for all!

Cute ! You are so creative. Looks like the kids a fun day. We went to the Provo Freedom festival parade and the kids enjoyed it, but I think being involved would have been a blast for the kids. we miss ya !
How cool! I'll bet the kids felt awesome doing that. Ditto to u being so creative.
How creative! I looked at the pics from the newspaper link and it was fun to see your kids. I would love to see you all again. We'll try to come down before the year ends and visit.
