Happy 4th!

We had a great time at a local 4th of July parade on Friday morning. It was threatening to rain all morning, and actually sprinkled a little bit, but it cleared up just in time for the parade!
Calder loved all of his red, white and blue garb. He's still wearing the necklace and fireman's hat around the house.





I couldn't resist taking this picture. Look closely -- the dog is wearing motorcycle goggles!






These were two of Calder's favorite sites during the parade. This Elmo balloon was awesome! It reminded me of something you'd see in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

And, of course, he was very excited to see Minnie and Mickey. Although when he had the chance to give Mickey a hug...he panicked and quickly backed away.












Another picture we couldn't resist. It's a little blurry, but if you can read the fine print, it says "Made in China". I guess we shouldn't have been so surprised...
