4th of July 2011

I think being able to ride their bikes in a local 4th of July parade takes 2nd place to Christmas Day in our home. Bright and early, all 3 TripleSmiles were jumping on our bed trying to wake us up! Today is the parade! Hurry! Get Up!

The night before, I helped each child decorate their bike for this very fun family tradition.

The kids absolutely LOVE riding their bikes in the parade.

Waiting for the Police to go by, before heading out behind them:)

After riding about 4  blocks, we pull off at my aunts house and watch the rest of the parade go by……

Noelle, LOVE IT! What cute kiddos, what cute bikes, and what great family memories. I lived in Greenville when I was 7-9, such a sweet town.
