We spent the 4th of July in Kalamazoo this year since we were leaving for the beach a week later. This year, Ed joined me and the boys at the Schoolcraft parade. The boys happily wore their flag shirts. We sat near (and the boys played on) railroad tracks during the parade.
Ed had his patriotic shirt on too! The parade was full of candy throwing, fire trucks and tractors--heaven for little boys!
Glad I had a blue shirt in my maternity clothes collection! Maybe we should have brought chairs though...
Later that evening we headed to the Kalamazoo Speedway to tailgate, watch a road race meets crash up derby on the track, and then watch fireworks after. The true all American experience for the 4th of July!
Eating red, white and blue cupcakes we made
Playing bean bags using old bike tubes as rings (told you this was high class!).
Hanging out on top the truck!
The earmuffs (for Jojo at least) were a little big, but very useful!
A little blurry, but one of the smash-em-up cars was painted like Lightning McQueen. The race was incredibly entertaining--the boys loved it, we loved it, and watching fireworks from the back of the truck afterwards was the perfect finale.
