To celebrate the 4th of July, my mom and I took the girls to a parade nearby where they truly felt what it was like to be American for the first time. Kaelia has been eagerly interested in the concept of "American" for about a month now since her Pre-K class studied the US and had the other classes "travel" to their classroom to visit the USA. She has developed a strong sense of pride for her own country, and now both girls got to see that pride everywhere during the parade.
Highlights of the parade were, of course, getting candy, but the girls also enjoyed waving their USA flags, getting more flags handed out to them, and watching the floats. Their favorite float was Disney themed and had characters like Tinkerbell and several princesses who all through candy out to the crowd. The girls actually got so much candy and flags, that they started giving theirs to some kids around them to share!
After the parade, we went to lunch and then headed over to a park where the girls got to go on a few bouncy castles, look at farm animals, and watch a dog show while slurping on snow cones. It was a great 4th this year!
