4th of july parade

so up here in milwaukee parades are very popular. the ridge has had the opportunity to participate in new berlin's 4th of july parade for the past 2 years (this year being the 2nd). last year they won best entertainment, and this year we won the highest honor, the council award. very exciting. the council award is presented to the organization that best represents the community in the parade. how exciting for us. we all had a great time. the only word i can really use to describe the whole thing is...fun. eric and i had so much fun, and i think molly did too. we passed out beach balls, candy, cards with our info on them, and had a trailer pulling a live band. i mean seriously, who could not have fun there?! enjoy the pictures, and we hope you all had a safe and fun 4th of july weekend!
