4th of July

Going out of order again to settle some antsy family members in Seattle. :)

We have a great tradition of watching the parade on the 4th with the care group. The group has grown, and we love having everyone over.

Here is little Jon waiting for the parade to begin.

This is a partial picture of the group. I meant to take another one, but somehow got distracted. Maybe it was Jonathan running into the parade.

The girls were in the parade and decorated a wagon. When they passed we saw that they had won best wagon!

A victory picture at the end with their trophy. (And Popsicles)

The neighbor's bunny came out to watch and the boys were right there smothering, I mean petting, it.

And then the annual picture of Jonny with his Varblow brothers. Jonah, Jonny, and Jacob. All 3 redheads. He fits right in. :)

We ended the day with fireworks surrounding us which Jonathan was petrified of! He now clutches his chest when we say "scary". Newly invented sign language - 37. Words he can speak - 2. Awesome.
