It's the 4th of July, Independence day, and we are off to the Bothell City parade
The wagon is decorated, hastily because Lilly will be in the pre-parade
It's very hot and Phil wants to be in the shade but I am out in the sun taking all the photos!
The flashing lights of the police motorcycles signal the beginning of the kids parade
You can see the first little Hot wheels right behind the policeman
There are a lot of kids and families doing the kids parade this year.
More than I can count.
Oh look! Cheryl has talked Christine into being in the parade with Lilly
This will be Christine's first U.S Independence day and here she is in the parade!
See wagon in the middle of this photo
As they get closer I enjoy watching parents making fast repairs to bikes and decorations.
It's a charming event I hope Bothell always does.
As Lilly, Cheryl and Christine pass I see that Lilly is pounding a drum. She seems very hot but enjoying this odd thing she is doing.
There was a special award this year for being in the parade. It's Bothell's 100th birthday and Lilly will have this nice ribbon to remind her she was there for the 100th birthday.
Done with her walk of fame Christine cools off
Lilly turns the decorated wagon into a bed to nap in
and the parade goes on!
The oppressors!
The Pipers
The Pirates! Yikes
Boom Boom
Looking for tossed Candy

Our neighbor girls float

All done, too much heat and heading home
Until next year, Happy 4th of July and Happy 100th birthday Bothell, our home.
