Freedom Days Celebration

Here are some highlights of yesterday's Freedom Days celebration in Columbus, MT.

Ethan in the fire truck.

We walked all over town for about 3 hours in 100 degree heat. So we took a rest on main street while we waited for the parade to start...

To say that Ethan loves parades doesn't quite do his enthusiasm justice. He stood and waved at everyone in the parade for over 30 minutes. He never stopped waving. Sometimes, when his arm got tired, he lowered it to rest, but kept right on a waving.

Mary Kate's favorite part was getting the mini beach ball.

Ethan taking a quick candy inventory post-parade...and finally stopped waving.

We ended a great day by watching the fireworks show...except Daddy and Mary Kate , who decided to turn in early after all that heat and celebrating.
