Happy 4th of July

We had a wonderful fun filled day. This was the first time in 2 years that I didn't ride the PTA float. So Nat got a chance to actually watch the parade. The first year we were here - we didn't know about the parade - having only been in town a month. But this time we staked our a ground early in front of the Intermediate School, and waited for it to begin. It was a long parade but a fun one to watch. Later that afternoon we went to Bay Days in Bay Village - carnival rides, games, and food. Natalee had a blast riding all the rides and just as we were running out of tickets - someone gave her a wrist band that they weren't going to be using anymore so she could ride all the rides she wanted until 4 pm. It was heaven sent. She rode the ponies, ferris wheel with her Uncle Bill - to bad the Ferris Wheel wasn't facing the lake it would have been a beautiful view, and more rides. Plus since we walked up to the fair we got free passes to Bay Village pool, just hoping we can use them even though we are not residents of Bay Village.
