4th of July Bike Parade
When I was little, we had a neighborhood 4th of July Bike Parade!! I have such fond (and vivid) memories of it. So it was so much fun helping Alex decorate his bike and being a part of the event!

The mailbox
He said, "Balloons?! I LOVE ballooons! Balloons are my favorite!"
Once we'd played with the balloons a while, he returned to the mailbox and asked for the snacks.
Stan commented that he didn't remember balloons being such a draw when he was a kid and it reminded me of my brothers, at about this age. They'd run around as bumble bees - with a balloon stuffed in the back of their nearly-matching striped shirts, making buzzing sounds and laughing. (Until they didn't watch the corner on the loop in the hall and cracked heads with each other... ahhh... good times)
Balloon play (and puppy sitting) have been great motivators for keeping his toys picked up though. As if keeping Penny the Poodle from chewing on them wasn't enough, the other day he stepped on a moose or other small figurine while chasing a balloon around the room. It's hasn't been hard to convince Alex to pick up since!
Well, we're all tucking in for the night. Tomorrow is the 4th and there's a bike parade ending with a bounce house and popsicles for all the kids - and i'm so excited that my Alex is old enough to participate now! Such fond memories I have from Sonoma Drive parades!
Happy 4th of July everyone! (Don't blow anything off. (papa))
