Our 4th of July has always included the Children's Bike Parade since we moved here to Lexington. However, it was raining steadily when we got up this morning. Brent and I spent awhile deciding if we were going to the Bike Parade this year. We decided even though it was rainy, that we would give it a try. I am so glad we went even in the rain. We all had fun and there was a pretty big crowd still even with the rain.
Rachel decided to walk with us this year and Bekah and Bethany had fun in the wagon.
We made it down Main Street pretty quickly and it was just lightly raining at this point.
Here are Brent and Rachel enjoying the parade.
We did have someone grab a family picture for us as we finished the route, which was good because about 3 minutes later it was absolutely POURING!
We enjoyed some good rest and family time the rest of the day. We didn't have much success on the fireworks with all the rain though. Our local ones in Lexington were cancelled and the ones we went to see in Staunton were rained out too! The girls were disappointed so thanks to Brent's creativity and Youtube, we got to "watch" some great fireworks here at home.
Though the rain changed around a bunch of our plans today, we had a great time together. Thankful that we live a free country and thankful for all those who have sacrificed so much for our country and the freedoms we enjoy!
