Happy 4th of July!! We went back to Round Top for their parade this year. We just love how down home it seems, J and J love the candy! This is our 4th year and we have learned a lot. We now bring a pop up tent and tons of water. We had a great corner spot to watch the parade and all of it in the shade!!!
 |
| Whoever owns this house had a really neat string of red, white, blue bandanas on her fence. They were just safety pinned to the rope. Cute! J and J are ready for the parade to start so I will stop asking to take their picture. |
 |
| They are barely tolerating a picture with Mom! |
 |
| The 2012 Round Top 4th of July parade begins........ |
 |
| Uncle Sam, Statue of Liberty, Flags and a Beauty Queen! What more can a float ask for?? |
 |
| Red, White and Blue sparkly horse butt!!! |
 |
| Ha! This float was a riot! You have to have seen the show Duck Dynasty to appreciate this one. |
 |
| Up and ready to catch some candy from, Ben Franklin? |
 |
| This is one of my favorite parts of the parade! Long Horn Steers just cruising down the street! There was a lot more of them last year. Must be to hot for the rest of them. |
 |
| I have to say that this scared me a little! He was definitely eyeballing me!! |
 |
| They were having a blast singing gospel songs! |
 |
| Phew! It's hot! The parade is over. I didn't take that many pics of it this year. I found myself just kicking back and enjoying it! Building memories! |
 |
| After a much needed break from the heat we were off to our friends, the Behar family, for a backyard bbq! They had a fantastic firework display that they shot off! From their backyard we had a 360 degree view of fireworks going off all over the place! |
 |
| I am not very good at taking photos of fireworks yet. Here are some of the ones that I liked. It was like Disney World, the fireworks went on and on and on! |
 |
| I have no idea what happened to this picture, but I love it! This is Jacob shooting off his very first Roman Candle!!! NOT my idea! |
 |
| Jacob was cracking me, when I wasn't freaking out a little, every time he shot off a Roman Candle he would stand like that! Hand on hip and arm straight out! He absolutely loved shooting those off. Big smiles! |
 |
| The Finale!!! Happy 4th of July everyone!! |
