Here in Grandville, that used to mean a morning roller blade ride between 3 on 3 basketball and the parade, swimming in the Meengs' pool in the afternoon, grilling out with the Westra's, and then fireworks downtown.
BUT... we had Dylan... and all has changed!
Now it means the parade, lunch, naptime, and grilling. No roller blading, swimming (due to a Meengs move), or fireworks. Oh well, the sacrifices we make to make our lives more joyful!
We went to the Grandville Parade with my parents, grandparents, cousins Kerrie & Eric, and their 2 kids Braden and Sawyer. Dylan & Braden loved it! They enjoyed the loud fire trucks, monster truck, and dogs. They even got the hang of picking up the candy. They both wanted to throw it back too! The last time Dylan did that a little girl picked up his candy, they glared at each other for a minute, and then I think Dylan caught on! He kept saying, "Throw more candy at Dylan!" Here are a few pictures of the joyous event thanks to my mom.

Don't you think Dylan did a good job putting these on?After naptime, we headed to my parents for supper and yard games. The predicted rain never came, so even though we missed the fireworks, we had a fantastic day!

Cute pictures! I enjoyed the videos as well! Oh, in answer to your question, I ended up taking dutch cookies for the teachers, and buying a little gift in Okayama for my manager! Hopefully I'll be posting pics soon! Love you guys!
