Fourth of July 2008

The Hicks' packed up and headed to Flagstaff, AZ to celebrate July 4th. We had a great time visiting with GG & Poppa along with many of their friends who were very excited to see Lila. When I was a kid, the Fourth was one of my family's favorite holidays. We usually went to Grandma & Grandpa's house in Independence, CA. There was always a parade (we even had our own float one year) followed by a huge BBQ and fireworks. GG & Poppa came very close to giving Lila the same experience minus the fireworks. Oddly enough, we didn't really miss them.

A nice old guy let Lila sit in his flag chair.

She was REALLY happy to get these!

Momma & Lila cheering on the floats.

A little off topic, but check out the deer crossing the green in the backyard!

And finally, a little movie. We played Bocci Ball later in the afternoon. Lila was the loudest and most spirited cheerleader.
