Making our own traditions....

One of our goals when moving to Old Towne Greenwood was to make our own traditions for our family that, hopefully, our children would remember and want to share with their families when they were old like us!! So, we loaded up in the wagon and walked to our first Greenwood Freedom Festival parade. Look at that crew....
Car was VERY excited by the blimp...it was very interesting and very quiet (that earned the blimp bonus points in his book!)

Fire trucks from old and new...wish daddy could have been with us to see those, but he was playing golf :-(

And, unfortunately, instead of just telling us that he was terrified of the fireworks, Carson decided to be horribly disobedient prior to them going off, so Matt walked him home (which, come to find out, was what he wanted to happen). I, however, stayed with Delaney and enjoyed some sparklers in the dark and a very nice fireworks display. It's funny how the simpliest things can be so exciting through the eyes of a 5 year old! And, Matt did manage to convince Carson to go outside in his jammies to watch part of the fireworks. From the very back corner of our yard you can see them coming above the trees....definitely something to remember!
