4th of July, 2009


Taking a break from the rigorous parade route down our neighborhood streets.
What a fun neighborhood to have a parade where we are all invited to actually be in it! And thanks to all of the "older" people that so kindly placed their lawn chairs on the side of the road so that someone waved to us as we patriotically rode by.


In the garage with our decorated bikes and stroller getting ready to ride down to the parade.









William spent many good minutes hand-drawing this beautiful American Flag that he hung on the front of his bike. Jake opted for a Spiderman figurine instead of a flag. Afterall, "Spiderman is American Flag colors."



Ended the day at "our" beach in the company of good friends. Beach and BBQ. A Perfect 4th.
