We are blessed to live near the city of Colorado Springs ... AND the small town of Monument. We have the best of both worlds. It's times like the 4th of July that we particularly appreciate the sense of community we have here. Well, let's just show you in our pictures from Monument's 4th of July Parade...
The Leahy crew on the 4th of July.
The boys decorated their vehicles to ride
in the kiddie parade. So patriotic!
"Dad, can you give me a tow?"
All smiles & sporting that 4th style!
Uncle Sam drove his red pedal car.
Last year, Luke rode this car in the parade;
this year, Reid was big enough to drive it!
Dad and his boys watch the parade.
A few notes about the parade... It is nearly 2 hours long and is touted as the biggest small-town parade in America. People arrive at 6 a.m. to stake out their seats. By the start of the parade, the streets are lined with people proudly wearing their red, white, and blue. Entries range from politicians to marching bands to alpacas.
Some horses.
Have you seen that Subaru commercial?
This dealership has a great sense of humor...
and an even better parade entry!
Did you think we were kidding about the alpacas?
Back to the Future ... that's right. It's a DeLorean!
