Dimmeydale Daddy Parade

Baby Ella lives in an amazing house in an awesome neighborhood. They have yard sales, parades & community BBQs. I think Papa & I picked the wrong place to live!

Luckily for Alexander, Ella's Mama is super-nice and invited Papa to walk in the annual Dimmeydale 4th of July Parade with Ella & her Daddy. Being a former Marine & all around lover of the home-of-the-free, Papa really got into character... "Papa America" that is!

Daddy Russ pushed Baby Ella and Papa pulled Baby A & Baby Nikola in their Red, White & Blue decorated Radio Flyer, while all the Mamas chilled out in the shade waving & taking pictures. Unfortunately, it was a little too early for a little American spirit.

After the parade, the whole neighborhood headed to the park for some franks & beans and some jungle gym fun. The kiddos even got free t-shirts!

Alexander had so much fun waving his flags in his 2008 Flag shirt!

And then... the boy tried to hi-jack his buddy's Jeep... Of course, he didn't know the sharp new red Jeep belonged to his friend, he was just plain trying to steal it! (Luckily, Andy's Papa had unplugged the battery to deter just such a theft.)

Ella is such an American Cutie-pie!
