We started the 4th off with the Melba parade...a nice small town parade with loads of candy. The weather was so perfect in the morning, breezy and not too hot! Makes this momma happy!
Our favorite "Float" in the parade by far!!
It did get rather hot by mid-day so we hung out by the pool and by we I mean Doug and Allie. They both were burnt to a crisp because I used new sunscreen that apparently was worthless.
We had a BBQ and then a bike parade for the kiddos in the neighborhood. They decorated their bikes and met at the park. When I planned it I didn't know what to expect. But 2 dads came riding in on their motorcycles and lead the parade for the kids. They were so excited and even in the HEAT of the day they rode around the neighborhood 3 times! I was impressed. Such a fun, new tradition!!
Fireworks with friends and family to top it off. What a day and how grateful we are to live in the good ole USA!

Parade brings back memories for us from last year when we went with you.
My mom grew up in Melba! when I was little we'd go visit and my dad would joke that we were driving to the end of the world. :) I love Melba, but haven't been there for years, since my grandpa died over 20 years ago! Thanks for posting a little about it. It brought back lots of good memories. :)
