July 4th in New York

After taking the night flight from California to New York on Thursday night, we arrived at Grandpa and Grandma's house just in time to celebrate with a parade and fireworks! (Any red eyes you see in the pictures may not be caused by the camera, but from our late night trip:)
Dan's home town of Penfield has a great 4th of July parade that we really enjoyed...
Grandma got Emma a wand to wave at all the parade participants...

This brought up the cuteness factor a little bit and Emma was rewarded with handfuls of candy being thrown at her. Grandpa helped her collect it...


There were bands...

floats...

and all forms of transportation to see


We left the at the end of the parade for a much needed nap.
That evening, we headed off to the fireworks show Emma enjoyed the pre-show music...
By clapping,

Dancing,

And waving her hands in the air.

Then Grandpa came with a glow stick necklace and more fun ensued...



Then the fireworks began...


The show ended and Emma was ready for bed

Hoping everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Hugs to all!!!
