i love fourth of july! it's given me my best childhood holiday memories and i'm just such a sucker for fireworks. this year, for marianne's first 4th, we were in a parade! it was the second annual fourth of july highland parade. the highlands is a darling denver neighborhood with an overwhelming sense of community. for the parade, all of the neighbors (and other denverites, like ourselves) bring their kids/family/friends/loved ones out and decorate their bikes/strollers/wagons/selves in red, white & blue and parade a few blocks together to a local park where they bbq weiners and have a huge potluck style lunch. everyone spreads their blankets out for the picnic. our friends chad + kristin (and their dog, karma) joined us for the fun!
i guess marianne didn't rest enough during the parade because she snoozed when we got home that afternoon in her swing. i love the folded hands she has going on...she naps just like her daddy.
later that night, we went over to chad + kristin's for grilling and fireworks...we saw a few from a park near their house. luckily, as we were driving home through downtown we saw the coors field finale - AMAZING!!!!!
after her bath on sunday, drying off with one of her hooded towels from aunt penny:
we had such a wonderful weekend, spending family time together!

Thanks for sharing your fourth with us. I love the bath picture, Marianne looks so tiny against Jerry's hand!
We enjoyed fireworks from the comfort of our yard!
Love you,
Nana and Papa
