Our Fourth of July Float

For the last several years our neighborhood has had a Fourth of July parade. The kids decorate their bikes and moms decorate their strollers and we all parade around the neighborhood to the community pool. Last year some moms built floats. This year we had floats and old time cars and of course our decorated bikes. It is a lot of fun and the neighborhood comes out to watch the parade if they are not participating.

This year Kenneth drove our 1959 Farmall Tractor pulling a trailer with straw bales with the kids for an old-fashioned, all American hayride.

The neighborhood loved it and asked lots of questions about the tractor and practically rushed Kenneth as he parked the tractor at the pool at the end of the parade. This was great for Kenneth as he "stole the show" with the men of the community, but it left me to setting up the tables, chairs and canopy at the pool for our family alone.
Here is Kenneth entertaining his "fan club".
