This morning we walked in the annual Balcones Woods July 4th parade.
Yesterday morning Ben and I went to the party store, where he chose our wagon decorations.
Nathan and Ash pup, who now weighs over 30 lbs! He was very good about wearing the flag bandana and greeting other dogs in the parade politely.
We walked with our friends Chris, Holly, and Ruby.
The turnout this morning was impressive, with a firetruck, several police cars, kids in wagons and on bikes, neighbors walking dogs dressed for the occasion, decorated cars whose passengers tossed candy to parade watchers, and even a decorated float or two. Neighbors served us ice pops at the end of the parade route.
Happy Independence Day! Here’s to our amazing communities at every level, small local neighborhoods to the nation as a whole. Hope your day is filled with laughter and gratitude, too.

Ben looks so much like you! I love his wagon decorations, too! Looks like a lot of fun
Ben and Maddie were the cutest in the parade. Tell Ben to save me some of his special cake.
