Alden and I went into Ashland for the 4th of July Parade. He became obsessed with going to see it after we saw a picture of a parrot watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. (Don't ask!)

Waiting for the firetrucks!

Seems like the whole town came out.

What's Independence Day without a random gorilla?

Playing in the fire hose spray.

Post-parade playground fun!
