The DiPasquale Daily Dish: Happy 4th of July!

Every year we head to good ole' Pegram, TN for the 4th of July. It is such a nice small town to hang out and have fun! We started the day with the parade! Maci caught lots of candy! Then we ate a very yummy barbecue lunch. Next it was time to head to the park to check out all the festivities! There was a petting zoo, lots of food, beauty pageant, but her favorite was the swing!! We came home to nap and were planning to go back for the firework show that we haven't missed in several years. BUT... there was a big thunderstorm that came through so we had to stay at home this year! It is a great tradition that started when I was a little girl...I am glad I get to pass down my traditions to Maci!

Having fun swinging!! She would have stayed right here all day if we would have let her!

Mrs. Armstrong (she teaches at Gower with me) had a petting zoo at the Pegram park today! It was a lot of fun!!

Getting ready to go on the fire engine ride! It was so much fun! Maci wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry....she kept looking around to make sure the sirens were a good thing! She was checking to see if everyone else was having a good time!
