Well, this week has been short and weird. Thursday felt like Monday.
BUT...we had a fun 4th, and I have the pictures to prove it.
The hometown parade was better this year than I've seen it in several years. And Miss Violet was intrigued by the shenanigans, versus last year when she mostly slept in her bassinet. My mom bought her a fancy Minnie Mouse t-shirt with stars and stripes and cute pair of jean shorts, so she was quite stylish.
Some of the highlights of the parade:
 |
| The Alameda Theatre made a float with a gorgeous scale model of the iconic, historic marquee. |
 |
| The Alameda Chamber of Commerce made a Cinderella Pumpkin coach. I don't know why. But it was awesome. |
 |
| The Swell Bar had a jaunty little nautical themed float, complete with mermaids, vintage sailor girls, and Neptune, God of the Sea |
 |
| Violet, in her Minnie Mouse stars and stripes, and Grandma |

Sleepy baby fell asleep halfway through the parade. Guess it wasn't all that exciting.

 |
| Rhythmix Cultural Works, an arts center in town, had a cool float with cogs and gears |
 |
| This gal had more American spirit than anyone! |
 |
| And my personal favorite, the period costumes, courtesy of the Dickens Fair float |
