4th of July

We went to the IF 4th of July parade. Again Max didnt mind the walk from where we had to park to the parade viewing area.

Here is Wesley waiting for the parade. A decent picture of him even tho his "smile" makes him look like he's in pain.
They had a huge flag and Max made sure to wave his big flag also. He loves the american flag and got very excited to see the huge one they were carrying.

Brendon had a few choices on who to walk the parade with. He could pick DARE, Cedar Badge, or his Boy Scout troop. He chose his Boy Scout troop and he got to walk the entire way holding a flag. He is in the 2nd row wearing his scout uniform. Here he is (just infront of the boy in the blue shirt)
Has anyone seen Max? He seems to have disappeared. - Even at 3 this is one of his favorite games. "Where me?" and if you dont answer it gets to more of a "hey you where me!!!!!!!!!"

Brendon was so very tired after walking all the parade route he came back and found us and pretty much melted into the ground.
I thought this float was cute.

I like this picture of Max.
Brendon didn't mind the walk back to the car. But it did cause the trip for me to be espically long. Walking any distance with Max when there are rocks to be picked up takes forever!
We went to the IF fireworks display. We have seen it every year we have been here, but this was the first year we actually went to the area and saw all of it.

Max again with his flag waiting and watching for the show.

I love my new camera and for the first time i was able to get some decent pictures of the fireworks.
Here is Maximilian during the show he didnt like the loud noises but did actually watch most of it because a nice family next to us gave Max a pair of ear plugs. :)
