Independence Day

We spent the 4th in Washington, NC with the Parker family. They live on the water, but we weren't sure that Crete was ready to go out on a boat yet. His Daddy bought him a blow-up pool so that he could enjoy the water too.

Check the hat. He keeps it on, though, so we wear it.

He tried to swim, but we didn't have the water deep enough.

Crete was dressed in his finest red, white, and blue, so we pushed him in the neighborhood parade. Next year we're going all out and decorating his stroller.

Other parade participants.

Pam and Gracie.

The cutest baby in the parade.

Granddaddy Parker--the Grand Marshal.

First time ever seen in shorts, I think.

Pam and Crete. By the way, we did bring some cute outfits for Crete, but somehow he just ended up in the white onesie. It was a hot day.

Thank you Kimberly, for sharing your family with us. It was a great time, as always.

Watching the fireworks.

Crete was not scared at all, just tired by the end of the day.
Thank you Parker Family!
