4th of July

We had a busy 4th of July. We spent the entire day with our friends the Bishops. We started by biking to the Corrales parade. This parade is like no other yet it's 100% Americana. In this small, rural village, the parade consists of paper machet horses riding bicycles, pet llamas dressed in advertisements for the local UPS store, a kazoo band, plenty of horses, and an abundance of floats being pulled by very well used tractors. After the parade, we all went back to the house for grilling and pool fun. Later we had smores and watched the fireworks from our yard. The girls really enjoyed spending the day with their friend Mychal.

This is typical Corrales. Traditional Uncle Sam being followed by a horse on a bike. Notice the guy with the thousands of balloons in his backpack. * The kids playing in the pool in our yard.

Lunchtime! * The kids hiding from the fireworks.
