I hope you all have a Great Independence Day!! Since we are missing 3 of our family of 5, Mike and I decided to get up early, something I never do on a weekend if at all possible, and we rode in the parade with my parents. You see, a few months ago my parents purchased a Model A Ford. It is something that they really enjoy toying with. This was the first parade for the new car. So, I was up by 6:30 and out the door around 7 am. We got to the parade and lined up with several others from their local Model A car club and we rode the parade route, waving our flags and yelling Happy 4th of July. But, before we got started in the parade they had a judging of the the entries. Something for Most Spirited Youth Group, Best Antique Car, Most Spirited Spiritual Group, and so on. Sooo, We Won. Well, we didn't win. My parents won. They won 1st place in Antique Cars. We were escorted by 3 girls from the local high school carrying our banner stating "Best Antique Car "(see pic). Anyway, my parents got their picture taken, received a trophy, were filmed by a local TV crew and have bragging rights for Best Car until the next parade and then we'll see what happens next time. Overall, we had a great time.
If you are wondering about the girls. They are all having a great time, calling home rarely, letting me know they are having a GREAT time, and letting me know that they aren't sure if they will be ready to come home tomorrow. Well, guess what. That doesn't really matter. I will be at the airport early and then some to pick up my babies tomorrow night. I sure am ready for them to be home.
I hope you all have/had a Great 4th of July.
