Parades, Senators, and Fireworks: Happy Fourth!

I love this man!  This really has nothing to do with the 4th, but I just had to say it.  Anyone who can put up with my questions like, "Is this shirt a true red, or more of an orange red, and does that mean I can still wear it on the 4th of July?"  is a keeper in my book.

Our friend (and state senator), Clark Jolley, asked me if I wanted to drive his convertible in the parade.  I said, "heck no, I'm not driving it (too much pressure), but Dustin will!" Pretty sure the Loehrs would never turn down a chance to escort important people in a parade.  I was pretty pumped!  

Congressman James Lankford and his cute family were in the truck in front of us.

I just love our town.  Edmond is such a great place to live.  There were tons of people lining the 3 mile area of the parade.  It almost seemed like something out of a movie, and just made me happy.

Those Kershs are pretty great!  They had a sign that said We heart James Lankford, and when we drove by, they flipped it by and saw this!  It cracked me up that we were included on a sign with Clark.  Love it! :)

Dustin's favorite part of the parade was: a) the war re-enactors  b)  Shriners driving around in tiny cars  c) Uncle Sam picking his nose or  d) the OKC Jedis

Preparing to watch some of the top-rated fireworks in the nation!  Little did we know that sprinklers would suddenly pop up from the ground in the middle of the show...  Slight setback. 

So proud to be an American!
Hope you had a great 4th!
