It's Independence Day!

We celebrated Independence day with a parade.   Had a great time!  Of course we had icees, a must as far as the children are concerned.  Can't take in a parade without one. Miranda treated us to burgers and fresh squeezed lemonade.  Nice to be out even in the heat.
Few shots of the morning.

Front row seats

Basset hound brigade

The band played patriotic songs.  Each branch of the armed services were honored with it's own service song.    For Steve  "The Army Goes Rolling Along"

Adalyn and Genevieve looking from the inside of the Arts and Activities center.  This center was the original Ashland Baptist church.  Interesting history of it is found Here

My little camera hounds.  Check out how Adalyn is holding that knee for her pose.

On our way back to the car after the parade I took a few shots of some the fine homes in Ashland

Most definitely time for a rest after a busy morning. 

I almost forgot and had to come back to add my wreath to this post.
Happy Independence Day!

Pinwheels for my pots
