Yesterday was the 4th of July. Our town always has a really neat parade. The girls love going to the parades. It probably has something to do with all the candy they throw out. It of course was 98 degrees at 8:30 am when we got there. We parked the car in prime parade position, walked to Hop n Sack for snacks, which was only 2 blocks away. 5 minutes after we got back the girls had to go back for a bathroom break. Guess who got nominated for that trek?
We all waited patiently for the parade to start. Reese layed down while she waited because sitting up just expends way too much energy.
Riley was the official candy retriever, while Reese guarded the candy hat in the shade. But she did patriotically wave her flag, which Riley got for her. She also tested about 8 pieces of candy just to make sure they were ok for riley. What a great sister, right? This is how much Riley knows Reese, Riley put all her favorite candy in her dress pockets because she knew it wasn't safe with Reese. And so Reese wouldn't figure it out, Riley gave her a tootsie roll every once in a while. It was quite comical. Made the parade worth it for us sweating adults. Hope everybody had a great 4th. Now, back to the grindstone.
