It's no secret that the Fourth of July is by far my favorite holiday (see 2010, 2009 and again).... and the 2011 festivities did not disappoint. Here are some photos from the parade:
Things kicked off with an impressive flyover:
When I first saw this kid, I thought his t-shirt said "AC/DC," and I thought it was a bit inappropriate for such a little guy to wear not only sunglasses and a bandana hat, but really? AC/DC? Upon closer look....
Old vets waving. Gets me every time.
Oh pass the tissues.
Flags in face.
Singing, check. Small flag, check. Sign with tinsel, check.
Be still my heart.
Precious little girl with somewhat creepy clown
Kid in a refrigerator box-turned army tank. How cute is this?!
There are no words. Patriotism personified, folks.
This is also quite the dedicated parade participant.
Old cars.
Obligatory up close shot of old car
And again.
She loves the U.S. Constitution. Not sure who she is, but she looks like a visionary of sorts.
Look at the kid on the right. Entirely regretting his decision to kick and scream and insist that he too be on the float. It's just too blazing hot.
Spooky is a great word. This photo does not endorse nor recommend services of this DJ.
Much like the kid in the photo two above, this girl was regretting throwing that tantrum about the pony and the patriotic helmet... I'm pretty sure she was glaring at her cousin who was scarfing down some Blue Bell on the curb.
That's, all folks!
Oh wait, but that's the great thing about the Fredericksburg parade... they drive up Main Street then back down! Here's the Church's Chicken creepster car:
Saluting the veterans...
Great afternoon snack of delicious watermelon on the back porch!!
Another good day in the life.
