Fourth of July - take one

I'm a little overwhelmed and not sure where to start.  I've been plagued by the curse of the technology age.  Fourth of July was...well almost 2 months ago and I still haven't gone through all the pictures yet.  However, I did make it through the first phase of our day and I'm now ready to put them up.
We started the day at my parent's house with a parade followed by carnival type games and races. 
 The parade theme this year was super heroes.  I think I'm a little under-inspired by some of these pint sizes heroes.  Maybe they'll grow....


Along with some carnival booths with games we also had races.
Here are Ben, Nat and Chris racing in the sack race


Not sure how but we got the men to race.  Poor dad.  Hope he doesn't have a heart attack trying to beat Doug and Jeff W.


The newbie couple took a turn racing.


There was a relay race where you had to run, put on clothes, run to the end and then come back, take them off and finish.

At each of the carnival games the kids earned tickets which they were able to trade in at the end for prizes.
