Firetrucks and army tanks and more candy than we could eat in a year! And Grandpa David and Grandma Elouise came with to share in the fun. In AJ's words, "It was a GOOD day!" 
We love the 4th of July parade in Cloquet. AJ's bucket was two-thirds full of candy by the time the last float had passed by. Even Sydney got in on the action. Hanging onto my hand, she toddled out to grab her first tootsie roll. Way-too-smart child that she is, she quickly figured out it was much easier to grab candy from her brother's bucket than to chase down some of her own.
Who gets the candy in your house - Daddy, the kids? We generally give the kids a few pieces then it ends up being thrown away. Either because I don't want to argue about them not having candy for breakfast anymore or because I'm just sick of looking at it. :) The sunglasses and necklaces were the biggest hits at our 4th of July parade this year.
