Ali and Memaw riding their bikes in the parade.

The parade ends and everyone meets at the park for breakfast. Jack shows off his "No guts, no glory" to all the kids at the park. Bill calls it Jacks own Jack-Ass episode.
You start by sitting in a Tonka truck at the top of the steepest hill you can find...then...
race down the hill as fast as you can. You get extra points if you do this one-handed

The 4th of July

Pre 4th of July Fireworks. Jack is super nervous about the loud fireworks so we get him ready with some quieter types. First the smoke bombs...or smoke balls as he calls them.
The Smoke balls are a success, no noise!
Now the neighbors come out with a little larger ammunition...

We are still liking the fireworks, nothing too loud.
And that does it, a few of the whistling types and Jack is through. We go in the house while the rest of the fireworks are lit.

The 3rd of July

The decorating of the floats. A long held tradition that includes pizza, crape paper and lots and lots of tape

Jack entertains the workers with his rendition of "Oh My Darlin' "
