4th of July Parade!

Happy 4th of July!!  Once again we walked in Ventura's annual Pushem' Pullem' parade!  Basically, anyone who wants to walks in the parade down Main St. in Ventura.  People are encouraged to decorate their bikes or wagons or strollers.  What is amazing to me each year, is that it is just a bunch of people all walking down the street, and yet the streets are lined with people watching the sea of people!! 
 
We met our friends there, so Faith and Shane are walking with Isabella and Miles.  The massive amount of people are ahead of us as we were towards the end (aka we were late!).
 
Olivia joined in on the fun too, and was the reason why we were late!  As we drove to the parade, she had a blowout!  And it was major!!  She needed an entire change of clothing!  I wanted to just go home (especially since Steve is working!!), but the older kids of course wanted to do the parade.  So we changed her in the wagon!  Thankfully I had an extra diaper (a size too small, but it worked!) in the car along with some wipes.  And I brought a little jacket for her, so that is what she wore.  No more cute, 4th of July outfit for this girl!  And the kids and I just decided to laugh about it all (otherwise I think I might have cried!), and said how we will never forget Olivia's first Pushem' Pullem' parade!  Soon after this picture she fell asleep!
 
Shane and Miles!  These two love parade in costumes!

And finally, a picture of Olivia from Sunday!  How cute is she??  Even if she makes us late to the parade with her untimely blowout!
