I've been in the US for 15 or so Independecne Days and this year was the first time I went to a parade. I've really never been fussed on that before. But we had some relatives over from Australia and decided it would be good for them, and Josh, and M to go to a parade. We had a good time. M loved the necklaces they threw out into the crowd and we all loved the salt water taffies they threw to the crowd! Maybe in 15 years I'll go to another parade.
M mastered bike riding since we moved here. Too bad she didn't pick it up sooner since one of her favourite things to do is to go off the edge of the curb and I think she would have had fun doing that kind of thing with Bailey... But she and Kate have had fun at the parks and trails around here.
We were very happy to spend some time with our friends from Melbourne - Tony, Amanda, Callum and Logan - during their visit here. Some photos from the Bees baseball game... Here is a little of what we've been up to this summer...
