27/52 A bike parade.

Every July 3rd, our "North Quarter" neighborhood pulls together a kids' bike parade followed by a party in the park. We live in a very mixed neighborhood, in a University town, with college students and families. It's events like this that make all the trials that come with living next door to college students so worth it!



Face painting, done by kids, beforehand.


Can I just tell you that I love that he loves his pink bike?! Never a word said about a pink hand-me-down from his sister!


The girl in the flag robe is actually playing the trumpet, and reading the music that is pinned on the woman's shirt in front of her.


The Grand Marshall, keeping everyone in line, making sure the big kids don't get too far in front.


"I can ride in the middle of the street?!"


Sno-cones in the park.


The cake game; hands down every kid's favorite game there! The winner gets a cake, so you can see the appeal.
