Happy Birthday, America!!

Josiah, ready for our annual neighborhood party, complete with bike parade.

 Rachel won a prize in her age category for decoration.  I don't know how they chose, as all the bikes looked so cute!  She thinks the eagle attached to the front was the winning touch.

 Josiah was soaked before he was through.

 Micah and Rachel helped throw candy for the kids' candy parade.

 This was a fun idea for water balloons, but it didn't last long.  The kids preferred to declare all-out war.  Food, adults, anything nearby found themselves to be a target.

Face painting: Josiah asked specifically for a "green butterfly," which had to be repainted three times due to all the water fights.  He even got hit with a water balloon while his face was being painted!

We are thankful for our country's birthday!  And Josiah got the "fireworks and Fourth of July" he prays for all year long.  Barely, as our fireworks display started with a glitch, but we finally saw them from behind our house when they got everything fixed.
