For the July 4th holiday we went down to a nearby town that held a parade and fireworks show with some friends from our Church. It was a beautiful day out for the parade but, unfortunately, the town decided that parade would be more about showing off their fire trucks and police cars than anything else. Along with those emergency vehicles they also showed off the sirens which seemed never ending. With a small infant it didn't exactly make for the most pleasant experience for her first July 4th as she mostly cried because of the sirens. Because of that experience we decided to forego the fireworks show that evening as we didn't think she would do well during it. Nevertheless, it was a good time with some friends and at least Gemma looked cute in her little July 4th outfit!!
Wonderwoman made an appearance at the parade. Time hasn't been kind to this ol' gal, as she looked like she's added a few pounds. Her "stars" were a little stretched out, too.
Despite all of the police and fire vehicles there were a few really cool old military vehicles, like this one...
There was also a big bag pipe band that came through the parade...
This was an old funeral carriage. The horses were beautiful. Although, it was a little creepy amidst all of the July 4th stuff.
Our friends from Church and their kiddos (Ahrens and Oscarson families). The kids loved getting candy that was being tossed out of the vehicles...
This old ambulance was really neat. Reminded me of the Ghostbusters car!!
And this one reminded me of the Three Stooges...
When all the sirens weren't going off Gemma had a blast snuggling with Daddy and watching all the stuff going on around her...
