July 4th for the Griffins
We headed out into the heat and humidity about 9:20 a.m. to walk up to the route of the parade they were having here in Baxter..........the subdivision we live in. By the time we got up there we had a nice steady stream of sweat running down our backs and looking for a patch of shade to squeeze onto with everyone else. Oh the things we do to make memories!
The ones who were in the parade were throwing candy and gum to everyone, so Ava made out like a bandit. Most times she was sporting a sucker in each hand or showing everyone one of her fabulous fits. She also enjoyed pulling up her pretty dress to show everyone her beautiful belly!
We stayed for the Star Spangled Banner (sung by a gentleman in the neighborhood). Matt was roped into a water balloon toss (*insert Matt's comment here* "We should have won"), Ava used the potty, we let our red necks shine by stripping Cole down to his diaper since he was starting to represent the shade of red on our flag and that was that. We started the trek back home and were sooooooo thankful for A/C!
And that folks was our 4th of July.
