For the second morning in a row, Emily made donuts! This time, they were equally delicious but slightly less messy.

Then we all went in the garage to decorate the golf cart for the neighborhood parade that afternoon.  

After naps, we got in our decorated float and headed for the parade start.

Most of the ladies road on the back...

but the youngest lady was, of course, driving.

We had a good amount of time to wait at the starting line...

and it was pretty clear that our decorations weren't going to bring in a first prize designation.

But, parade we did!

With Everett waving with gusto the whole time!

Once at the clubhouse/end of parade route, we ate dinner and played a little...

before making our way home on a much quieter path.

But, the quiet was broken that night when we arrived home and started a mini-firework show in the driveway.

What a fun Independence Day celebration we had...a day early!
