Then there was the parade....we were so excited for it...but, sadly, it didn't turn out to be what we expected...first, we had a pretty good spot until "adults" decided they needed to stand in front of Max so that they could see the parade...I guess they decided he didn't need to see. We would ask them politely to move so Max could see the parade but they would just give dirty looks and grunt (what kind of people would stand in front of a little boy... on purpose) .... then, sadly, when the flag went by...a part of the parade I have always loved...NOBODY stood to show their respect!!! A huge block of people and they just sat there, didn't even clap or anything... I was appalled .... I know not everyone is from this great country...but they are choosing to live here and enjoy all the freedoms and wonderful lifestyles they have...they don't have to cross their hearts, but to stand and show respect to our flag, how hard is that...instead it was more like they were showing disrespect to our country .... It was sad....then, people were rude and ridiculous all over the parade route so we only stayed an hour and headed home.....
Max did enjoy the bands...he would stand on my lap and wave his arms around the entire time they played their music.....unfortunately, he had the beginnings of a cold and felt crappy that morning...so it was better we left anyway....better luck next year...I do love the 24th of July Parade...we just got in the midst of a rotten group of people....better luck next year...Happy 24th everyone!!!

What a poopy bunch of people!! I can't believe that they didn't even put their hand on their heart! So ungrateful. At least you got to be with your wonderful family all day!
Isn't that the pits? It's amazing how much of an affect the people around you can have. They can really make or break your experience. It makes me so mad! Great posts! You guys have really been having a fun summer!
Wow what a bunch if losers you were sitting by at the parade. They should be grateful for what we have. But I'm glad you were able to have fun as a family:) Better luck next year!
