As we were telling Thad about the Fourth of July, he was interested to know what it was really all about, which is hard to explain in three-year-old vocabulary! We told him about the Revolutionary War and how our country was started, etc., and all I could picture was Thad was hearing what the kids on the Peanuts cartoons heard when their parents or teachers were talking to them: "Mwah-mwah-mwah . . . Mwah-mwah-mwah-mwah!"So then I told him about the parade we were going to attend.
"Mama, what's a parade?"
"Well, it's a line of people on floats, in cars, on bikes, etc., who are there to celebrate the anniversary of our independence. There will be clowns, too."
"Clowns?!?! I haven't seen clowns in my whole five years, Mama!!"
Wow, Thad. How sad. Particularly since YOU ARE ONLY THREE!
Uncle Matt showed up in Forest Lake at 5a to get us front row seats!
Is there anything better than a parade with your favorite cousins!?
Well, someone has to do the dirty work. God bless this guy!
