Here we are getting ready for the Grand Parade: Josie, Gracie, Brooke, Stran, Tate and Cinch.

We decorated our first float/trailer for the VFW (Vetran's of Foreign Wars - Jake is their awesome Quartermaster). I should have got a picture before Jake left this morning, but didn't. Everything turned out really cute. It was a lot more work than I had planned on. Adri rode on the trailer and then got off to come get her cousins to ride with her the rest of the way.
They had a very strict rule this year that they could not throw candy, so Adri did a lot of running back and forth to give candy out by hand. It wasn't as fun for the kids - the candy is always the highlight of out very boring parade.

After Jake parked his trailer at my mom's he and all the kids joined us for the rest of the parade. Luckily he usually has a spot at the very first of the parade. It was such awesome weather this year - overcast with a bit of a cool breeze - perfect! Although later in the day we were sweatin' in 90 degree weather.
After the parade we headed to my mom's for a BBQ and a b-day party for Cole! Here he is blowing our his '4' candle on his peanut butter bar cake. YUM! Happy Birthday buddy!
