4th of July

We enjoyed Eagan's 4th of July parade again this year. The boys have been so excited that they have been playing "parade" all week. We decorated their bikes, then Allie and I sit on the grass while they ride by on the sidewalk whipping candy at us point blank! They did get lots of candy and goodies at the parade. Only two marching bands this year. Derek laments the dwindling marching band programs every year as he is a former marching band geek (read: stud). I do hope there is something left for the kids once they reach high school, as interested in music as they are. Derek's band got to march in the Rose Parade in Pasadena, CA and also marched at Disney Land. I've seen the Disney Land Parade a few times. Don't you ever wonder if you crossed paths with your significant other long before they were significant? I plan on asking God when I get there. Another pass crossing potential is worth mentioning as the Boys (Danny, Tyler, Derek, three uncles and two papas) are having a camping trip at Lake Itasca. We both have historical pictures of our families gathered around the post proclaiming the start of the Great Mississippi River. I hope they are surviving the weather up there.
