Since I have been the biggest slacker this summer, I’m just now putting up the pictures of us from the Northside Fourth of July parade. Honestly I was waiting to see if I could get higher resolution copies of these pictures from the people who took them, but no luck. I apologize for the sub-par quality on them, I had to save Facebook versions which we all know have crap resolution.

In past years we just kind of crashed the parade from our friend Skip’s house since it’s right on the route, and this year was no different! We still are official members, but if you start at the beginning you have to wait in a hot parking lot for an hour before it even starts. This year we wanted to actually do something a little political so our theme was ‘Disaster at Muscle Beach’.

The muscle man that Skip hired was a HUGE hit.

Mabel was rockin' my hat hard!

Rachel always makes me look so good!

Maya the hula hoop queen

I love that freakin' dress.

The palest person and the most tan person

Although I look like Vanna White in this one, I was actually tossing candy filled eggs at kids.

Skip and the muscle man

I don't know how David Sorcher made it look like we were all dancing in unison, but it's AMAZING!!

We had a such a fantastic time again this year and can’t wait to do it again next year! <3 Northside!!
