Every year we have a Fourth of July Parade. The kids decorate their bikes and ride in the parade. This was Lincoln's first year to participate. We (meaning I) didn't spend much time (meaning maybe 30 minutes) decorating his bike. It rained every day last week, and it poured the night before the parade. I wasn't even sure if there would be a parade. When we woke up Saturday morning, the sky was clear, so we threw on some decorations and headed to the parade.











This is his bike. Not my best work, but we didn't have much time.










Amazingly enough, Lincoln won third prize in the bike decorating contest. The competition was fierce. Did I mention there were only four competitors in his age bracket?









Lincoln is so proud of his trophy! He carried it everywhere he went on Saturday!

This is all the candy we got at the parade. I'm pretty sure this was Lincoln's favorite part!
