4th of July

Hmm... a little behind here. 

We had another fun filled day in Natick enjoying the annual Kiwanis pancake breakfast and the Natick 4th of July parade!  Just like Natalie in 2009, Grant ate his weight in pancakes.  We had to steal a plate full of them because he wasn't finished when the parade was starting, so you can see in the picture below, he has his mouth full of pancake!  We scored some good seats along East Central too, right on the street.

I'm beginning to wonder if there will ever be a photo of Grant without his sippy cup of milk. 

Natalie waving to Sparky, the Wayland Fire Department Fire Dog.  And look, he's waving back at her!

Oh wait!  THERE'S a picture of Grant without his cup!  He clearly has no interest in being photographed of course, so Natalie is yanking him back in the picture.  Get back here little brother!

Oh well, if Grant won't participate, then we'll just get a cute one of Natalie, Pink Bear, and Daddy. 

Natalie once again, was very into the parade this year.  I was actually a little surprised that Grant sat still for a good portion of the beginning of the parade (perhaps it was the milk and the pancakes), but Natalie really enjoyed the whole thing.  She danced to the bands, hugged Tigger, and was wowed by the dancers, gymnasts, and jugglers!

Unfortunately, this might be the last year of the Natick 4th of July parade (yes, ever).  They are having trouble finding someone to organize/run the parade.  We hope that they find someone soon because we really have a great time every year!
