Parades and petting zoos

Cate participated in the Push'em Pull'em parade along with hundreds (seriously) of other kids. We didn't have much for decorations this year, and I didn't even have a red, white, or blue outfit for her, but we still had fun and got balloons!


Later that evening, we went over to the field where all the balloon events take place, to check out the petting zoo and baby alpacas. Cate loved it, and she quickly caught on that she could rip up some grass and feed it to the variety of critters through the fence. Rick and Dad were with us, and afterwards, Rick asked if it was better now that we have Cate so that I can justify petting the animals as opposed to just being the weird 30-something person petting goats without a child at my side. Kids do have their perks. :)

Gramma met up with us at the petting zoo, and then we started to head home to get Cate ready for bed, just as the hot air balloons were beginning their fly over.
