4th of July

First Jamie and Lucas decorated their bikes/cub mobile and went to a local neighborhood parade. It was complete with fire truck and a moms float and a ton of kids in wagons and on bikes in between. There was even a miniature horse but I couldn't keep up and get a picture. Meemaw walked between them and pushed or pulled as needed to get them to the park. We took home the leftover cookies since I was sitting in the shade with the church folks.

Second Jamie went with her Aunt Teresa and the cousins to the Wells Branch celebration. They rode the train and made crafts. Teresa has pictures of that event.

Third Uncle Travis called when he and his friend finished their parade and brought them all by the house for hamburgers. I think there were over 10 friends besides our family. We made a lot of tea and lemonade. The big surprise was they brought 2 horses to relax and cool off in the backyard. Jamie was on the back of a horse (bareback) for at least 6 hours with a few breaks. They were very gentle horses. They ate the grass in the backyard and apples. There was also a bird - a macaw I think. Blue and yellow - very pretty!

Fourth a lot of us drove out to Rockdale to take the horses home and watch the fireworks Travis set off. Jacky picked mustang grapes and apple/pears. They ordered pizza and we looked at all the stars. We didn't get home until 1 am and went straight to bed. I still need to download all the pictures.
