Bike Parade

Happy Fourth of July everyone! Yesterday we started our holiday weekend by participating in the first ever neighborhood bike parade, planned and organized by yours truly, with help from the neighborhood association President. We emailed our community members asking them to help us celebrate our nation's independence by decorating their bikes, strollers, scooters, etc., and riding around our neighborhood. We were accompanied by the Chief of Police and a member of the police departments bike patrol. Jason and I were worried that it was going to be just him, Maggie, and I on this little parade, but we actually ended up with about forty people! At the end of the parade we all had juice and cookies at our neighborhood park. I'm so glad I took the initiative and did this - Maggie had a blast and the association President is already looking forward to next year. Here are a few pictures from the event. You can see even more pics here.
