I Love a Parade

Every Fourth of July, all the neighborhood kids get together and parade down the street to a local church where the home owners association rents a big inflatable something for the kids to jump on and fly off. You may recall that last year, Sam rode in a wagon for the parade. This year, Sam was ready to join the big kids on his tricycle:Sure he needed a little help from me through the rope I tied to the front to keep him moving, but he steered all by himself, pedaled a bit, and rode in the stroller when he got tired. And everyone commented on his cool retro trike (thanks May and Pop). Noah enjoyed the parade by sleeping through it, but I'll bet next year he'll be in the wagon and we'll start all over again.
