Happy 4th of July!

i try pretty hard to make sure that the boys
experience and see many things.
from big events
to little activities
and everything in between.

so it surprised me
that when we took the boys to
see the Hillsboro 4th of July parade,
it was their very first parade ever.

and they had a blast!
they danced. and waved.
and grabbed candy.

and posed for an occasional picture

with a congressman.

thanks to the johnson's for letting us join them.

and for taking a great, rare family picture.
