Holiday encore ~ Lucy and the boys celebrate our independence

I don't think I can top last year's Fourth of July celebration, so here it is again. 

***
 
George: Mom's been decorating the barn again. Must be a holiday. 



Lucy: You know this has trouble written all over it.



George: I don't mind. I'm proud to be an American.



Alan: Hooray for the red, white and blue...and green? Mom, I need a new halter.



Hank: Let's have a parade!



Lucy: I'll be Grand Marshal.



Lucy: Ok, boys, line up! Smallest to tallest. Hank, you're last. Alan, get over here!
Alan: Geez, she can be bossy sometimes.


Lucy: Hold on...let's watch the marching bands go by first.
Ok, get on up here, Alan.



Me: Good job! Just a few more blocks, then watermelon for everybody.



The one spectator lining the parade route was disappointed that no one was throwing out candy.


Lucy: You've had your fun, now where's my watermelon?
Me: I'll go get it right now. You just stand here and keep the folks at home entertained 'til I come back.
And please don't embarrass me by drooling. It's not your best look.

    Your parade is an excellent celebration of the Fourth of July holiday. I hope you and yours have a great, quiet (no pops and bangs to scare the group) day.
