For July 4th this year we decided we wanted to be in town for the Lake Highlands Exchange Club July 4th Parade. It is put on by a local group that supports LH. Kids are encouraged to decorate their wagons, bikes, strollers, trikes, etc., and walk at the front of the parade. Then they stop at the end and watch all the larger floats come by. The parade is followed by a carnival at the local rec center that includes bounce houses, pony rides, train rides, a petting zoo, and so much more.
We went to the lake on July 3rd and drove back that night. A late night run to Walgreens was all we had for decorations and I was up until after midnight decorating the wagon. I had no idea what to expect since we'd never been. We were really surprised and excited when the kids were awarded a blue FIRST PLACE ribbon for the under 5 group! More importantly, we had so much fun with friends and really loved participating in a fun community event!
