Freedom Neighborhood Parade

Ok....it has been quite some time since I have posted...summer has been fun so far and I keep forgetting my camera! We have visited Lagoon a couple of times and then Chad took Ashlyn on the Alpine Coaster Ride in Park City, both of which I forgot to bring my camera for....later I will have to get some pictures of these things. For now, I have some pictures of the neighborhood parade from this morning. This is the second annual parade, and to be truthful it is not a true parade, more like have the kids decorate their bikes and ride it up and down the street for a few onlookers in the neighborhood. But the kids have fun and that is what it is all about, right? We also do a neighborhood breakfast afterwards in our circle which is a lot of fun too. But this year was extra fun for the kids....a fireman in our neigborhood hooked us up with a fire engine. He parked it in the street and raised the ladder up to the highest point he could....which was higher than I would ever climb on a ladder! Then he took the fire hose and squirted all the kids in the circle. The kids were drenched! There was a ton of water and most of the adults got soaked too! I hope we can do this every year because that was definately the highlight of the morning! I would have gotten a close-up picture of the kids next to the fire truck...but my darn battery died in my camera!
