red, white, and blue due.

I'm due for a lot of things these days. Due for a blog post. Due to have baby girl in only 52 days. Baby furniture is due to arrive any day now. And speaking of due, it's the middle of August and I've yet to post pictures from the 4th of July. I would say that these pics are slightly past due.

We ended of foregoing our trip to the lake for the 4th due to reconstruction from our flood, and instead, headed over to Nash Farms for their annual Independence Day festivities. They had live music, a kids area with inflatables, games, and face painting, and a wagon parade. This overachiever mama got super psyched about the wagon parade and so did our little man. I was pumped about the decorating part. P was stoked about riding in a parade waving a miniature flag and ringing his red, white, and blue cow bell. Poor Taylor got stuck pulling P in the wagon for the super long parade in the grueling heat while hundreds of spectators watched. I snapped pictures and laughed hysterically. It was a lot of fun for all some.

P absolutely loved the fact that we were right behind the drums. Or maybe he was thrilled that we were first. Either way, he was delighted by the little wagon parade.




My little man looks so grown up. Thank goodness I will have a new baby soon to be all sappy and sentimental with. P is a little over his mama's maudlinness. But, he will always be my baby. He just doesn't know it yet.



Yummy homemade root beer. (That I hope was caffeine free, because I drank $10 worth.)




They even had tractor rides. A little slow-paced and hot for this pregnant mama, but P enjoyed himself.



We had a great time celebrating Independence Day at Nash Farms. Granny, Grandpa, and Great Granny joined us for dinner and fireworks. P fell out about ten minutes before the show started and slept right on through the grand finale. I guess all of the day's festivities wore him slap out. A 9:30pm start time doesn't jive well with a two-year old's sleep schedule.
