Fun Filled Fourth

Every 4th there is a kids parade in our neighborhood. We walked down to it with some other neighborhood families.Everyone decorates their bike for the event (except Hayden b/c he has lazy parents).Hayden watched the parade for a while before deciding to jump in.
Hayden thought he was the "Grand Marshall".
Hayden did a very good job staying on his bike. Jacque and Lauren where among the crowd and waved at Hayden.
The parade ended at Mariners Park with a big carnival. Hayden's still too young to enjoy most of the rides but next year he'll have a blast. Time to head home... Can you find Hayden's bike?
After the parade/carnival- Hayden took a 3 hour nap! Then we had our block party.

Jacque BBQed some burgers.Hayden feeding Jacque some Pedialyte.
Jacque's so funny! Then we started the block firework show. Hayden would have walked right up to the fireworks if I let him. He had no fear- the noises didn't even scare him. Vivian didn't like the noise- you can see she's wearing head phones.Here's Hayden throwing some poppers.

Then we headed down to the harbor to watch the Newport City fireworks from Vivian's Uncle Steve's boat. He has a beautiful restored 1924 boat (oldest in the harbor) that had the perfect viewing angle for the fireworks. This was the last picture I got before the battery on my camera died.
