Celebrating Freedom and New Traditions

As July 4th was approaching we were trying to decide how we were going to celebrate.  We have two couples who are dear friends to us who invited us to the annual Arlington Independence Day Parade.  The parade is supposedly the best or biggest or longest parade in the nation {at least by the other couple's accounts} so we just couldn't miss out.

We had so much fun spending the morning with our friends and Evy loved the parade.  She would wave to everyone and dance when the bands marched by or the floats played music.  This parade has definitely been added to our list of traditions.

{Chad asked Evy's friend, Tyce, to "watch" Evy so Chad could sit down}

{The Six Flags float pulled up and they were singing a Journey song.  Evy jumped up from her chair and ran to the sidewalk and began singing and dancing...it was HILARIOUS!}
