Summer: 4th of July

Posted on June 28, 2017 by Jennifer

One of my favorite collections each month is Connie’s monthly Grab Bags!  You get 6 brand new coordinating packs for only $5!  While you get a preview on the blog, Connie sets a full reveal of the grab bag in the store so you know what you are getting before you purchase.  This month the theme is 4th of July and I bet many of you will love this collection! Available at Ginger Scraps and The Digi Chick. Today is the last day of the grab bag before it is separated into individual packs.

I initially had planned to scrap some pictures from last year’s 4th of July, but then I realized I had already scrapped the ones of Jessica and Janette and I really wanted to use the red, white, blue and cute too word art. So I had to go back to 2010 for some photos that worked. I really love how the first layout turned out. I then had to make a second layout to scrap some additional photos from the same photo shoot.

4th of July Fun

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Jennifer

Shady Hollow, our new neighborhood, puts on a parade and other activities every year for the 4th of July. We walked to the pool, the end of the line for the parade, and made it just in time to see the classic cars. They were followed by some floats and then sections of decorated kids and adults. Next year, we’ll have to help Jessica decorate her little car to ride in the parade.

Jessica Watching the Parade

The Chick-fil-a cow, a fire hydrant costumed adult and two Manchaca Volunteer Fire Department vehicles finished up the parade.

Parade

VFW Post 3377 presented the colors and we said the Pledge of Allegiance. This was followed by a patriotic reading and a few patriotic songs. Then the parade awards were announced.

Old Glory

A number of people were handing out red, white and blue beads. Jessica picked out some red beads.

The local boy scout troop sold lunch items and the Kiwanis club sold snow cones. James stood in line and got us each one. Jessica seemed to enjoy sharing her Daddy’s cherry snow cone more than my berry snow cone. She really wanted to hold the cup, but we wouldn’t let her.

Sharing a Snow Cone with Daddy

Jessica was then entranced by the square dances. They did a few numbers and then got volunteers to test out their dancing skills. I was one of those volunteers. One of the lady dancers tried to get James, but when she saw me being led off by one of the male dancers, she said sadly “Oh, you have to stay with the baby.” I don’t think James was disappointed. Too bad, he didn’t think to snap a pic of me dancing.
