Tradition! Tradition!


It was a BEAUTIFUL year for the Grandville Fourth of July Parade.  It was sunny, gorgeous, and mid-70's.  Amazing.  In all the years I've been going (and Brenda and Leah, for that matter) I can't remember a better year of weather for baking in the sun by the asphalt.  And to top it off, we had great "parade neighbors" -- people with nice, sharing, giving kids who didn't hoard or block the candy / view.  It was perfect (not to mention, my kids are at a great age for it).

The rest of the day was lovely with lots of baseball (I think Sam played all afternoon with the big boys), a little slip-n-slide action (it was almost too cold with the hose water), and lots of family time.

The next day, we went to the Holtvleuwer cottage at Indian Lake for another great day with the Ploegs'.  All the boys had fun in the water -- going down the slide, jumping off the dock to cousin Tony, fishing on a boat with daddy and Grandpa Doug (Brenda's dad), jumping on the trampoline, and playing in the sand.
