A full 4th of July

Independence Day was truly full. We drove to a city transit station, parked the truck and rode the transit to Peachtree Street in the heart of Atlanta, for a long-standing city tradition, the 4th of July parade. The weather was most cooperative for July. The kids enjoyed all the sites and sounds. After the 2 hour parade, we convened to Great Grandma Katherine's for a wonderful July 4th lunch. When most sane people would head home after being out from 10-6, we went to our church's Wednesday night service. After a short message, the congregation convened on the church property for "a movie under the stars." It was a great 4th of July option that we were certainly appreciative of.

Quadson getting into the spirit.

We were truly puzzled by this site the whole parade. She was a nice lady, though. We were glad Quadson kept quiet about it. Yep, that would be her bra!!

The awesome movie set up after our church service.





Monique and I brought two chairs for us and a blanket for the kids. Before the night was over, we were on the blanket, the kids were chilling in our chairs. Go figure!
