Happy 4th of July!

First, I would like to thank our military past and present for serving our country so we can celebrate our Independence!



We spent our day celebrating our independence at our annual 4th of July parade in Downtown Leesburg. This has become an annual tradition for us since living in Leesburg. It's so nice to be able to walk down the street from our house to all the festivities of the day and fireworks at Ida Lee Park at night. We had a great time celebrating the day with Grandma & Grandad too!



Enjoy the pics and Happy 4th of July!

Love,

Caroline's Mommy

This speaks for itself...



We're still trying to figure this one out...Caroline didn't know what to think!

This little boy (didn't know him at all) wanted to give Caroline a big hug!


As you can see...Caroline wasn't too interested! Not yet, anyway! ;~)


Sleepy Caroline didn't make it to see the Fireworks...I think she missed them last year too! ;~(
The main attraction...FIREWORKS!



She did finally wake up to see the last of the Fireworks...pointing in amazement!


Daddy & Caroline enjoying the lights in the sky! Happy 4th of July!
