The 4th of July

The 4th was an action packed day. It started with a patriotic parade through Greentree led by a firetruck. Many neighbors, families and pets participated and decorated their bikes, trikes, big wheels and strollers. Even Harley got into it!

The fun continued in the backyard with Daddy giving Tatum a spin on her tricycle.
And then guests came over for a little 4th of July BBQ in Grandma's backyard. Tatum has already become one of the ladies! (I later found out that she sat so nicely because Grandma was occasionally giving her chips)
Mattie also came over to enjoy the festivities and showed Tatum how to properly wave the flag. Before this Tatum was a little apprehensive about twirling the flag...
But soon apprehension was taken over by a patriotic march...
Which led to a heart felt song of God Bless America! (OK, the words weren't there but she was really feeling it!)
The night ended with a fireworks show in the park. Tatum loved it and kept pointing at the fireworks and saying "Oooo!" and "Pop, pop, pop", so cute!
