I love patriotic holidays! They are such a special reminder of how lucky we are to be Americans and an opportunity to remember those responsible for shaping and fighting for such a great nation. Since the 4th landed in the middle of the week this year, we stayed in the Brenham vicinity. It was our first time to experience the parade in Round Top which was just as adorable as the community itself. Later on we went to Washington-on-the-Brazos where we enjoyed free Blue Bell Ice Cream and a concert. I'm not sure which the little ones enjoyed more--those girls LOVE to dance! The following weekend we went to the annual Half Moon Holidays in my hometown of Shiner. We were lucky enough to enjoy another great parade and were able to watch the fireworks from around my parents' pool.
In Round Top:

some of the parade entries:
Lyla was so into the parade that this guy went out of his way to shake her hand :)
how this guy did not pass out is beyond me
hook 'em horns!
Half Moon Holidays:
the best I could do with these three
Lyla's so proud that she got her bow out of her hair
