Palatine 4th of July Parade 2013

We love our yearly parade tradition in the town we grew up in.  Of course, we arrive nice and early and get our shaded, large spot.  Before we go, we always take some pics.  Yes, the girls are wearing the same outfits from the Barrington parade because I didn't get enough pictures!

 Sisters!  So happy these two have each other.  I pray that they will always be close!

 We met up with our friends and this is the parade going crew.  Great group of kids!!!

 This little girl loved sitting with the big kids and eating snacks, of course!

She was paraded out about half way through.  She'll be all about it next year when she can collect candy!

Afterwards, we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa's house to pick up my car.  We visited their next door neighbor, Helen.  She was so happy to see everyone!

These kids have way too much candy.  Bring on the "can we have some candy" questions 50 times a day!
