My family had a wonderful July 4th holiday. We attended the “oldest Independence Day parade in the nation” held in Ripley, West Virginia, and attended a family reunion.
The heat was there along with its BFF, humidity.
Sweet Moses, the humidity?
Was. Miserable.
I tried not to think about the heat because at this same time last year, McDaddy was deployed to Cuba and I was miserable because I was missing him. I tried to focus on the awesomeness of having him home with us this year and not the stinkin’ humidity, but I’ll tell you it was miserably hot.
On America’s brithday, we saw old cars,
and heaps, er I mean Jeeps, beauty queens, (sorry for the poorly centered picture!)
acrobats,
our friends and their horses,
pulling a wagon carrying my two sweet boys! (Decked out in flashing patriotic sunglasses my dad picked up at an auction!)
Happy Birthday, America!

We were traveling so missed any parades- thanks for sharing yours!
looks like an awesome parade! I totally forgot my camera at our parade!

Very cool, the parade looks fun and that last shot is great!
Very Americana and Norman Rockwell-ish! We don’t have Independence Day parades in my area, they look like fun!
What fun!
Wish I could have been there!
