"Abe Lincoln" was in town.

the parade
Rachel and her flags!
Patriotic Toes: Me, Hallie, Rachel, Jesica and Dawn (Kate and Sarah were too busy)It doesn't get more patriotic than a parade and a picnic on the 4th of July. We were invited to join some friends for a picnic and to see the Centerville parade come down the street in front of their home. It reminded me of Clarendon's parade (my home town). I used to go every year when I was young. This year, our kids got to experience that same small town America feeling of celebrating the 4th of July. They were front row for a great view and prime targets for candy throwing. Although in Clarendon, they didn't throw t-shirts and bags of chips. (They also didn't have boys with shovels going along behind the horses to scoop the poop.) The kids got to shake hands with "Abe Lincoln" and see Darth Vader. Hayden sat with Emilie and she got him a high school musical shirt and lots of candy. You may recognize Emilie from our Superchick concert night. Hayden loves her! We had a great time and hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July...
