Then it was off to the Orange Park Acres Parade. Zachary's Jazz Band - The Minutemen Band marched in the parade. It was the first time he's been part of a marching band. It brought back so many memories for Mom and her high school marching band days.
Practicing before the parade:

| Zachary looks so serious! |
Nana came to watch the parade as well - just like the old days watching Mom in her parades ... only this time we found shade! And it really wasn't hot at all, especially when you were out of the sun. In fact Nicholas asked to wear my jacket
Some of the other floats in the parade - that is Nicholas' friend Shannon on the left:
Here is Katie in her "float". She got to watch the parade from her own decorated float. She and Mommy decorated Saturday night - we colored plates and glued them on with crepe paper and ribbon. Too cute.

At the end of the day, after a BBQ and a nap (at least for Katie and Mom!) we went to Yorba Linda to watch fireworks. This was exciting, because Zachary is not a fan of fireworks, and he came with us and actually enjoyed them!! It was so exciting to be all together on a blanket in the park. Nicholas took some photos on his DSI - I'm sure they will end up in a game somehow.
