July 4 | A Texan Parade

The fourth of July.

Parade.

It’s as if you can’t say one without at least thinking of the other. I know my family’s summerly schedule certainly wouldn’t be complete without both. Our town’s parade is a yearly highlight of mine, and I’m so excited to show you why!

Jeep Fourth of July Parade

We all get up early, throw on red, white, and blue, and take off in my dad‘s favorite toy: his ’78 CJ5. (Which to me just means a cute jeep in bright yellow and blue.)

As you can tell from my smorgasbord of pictures, there was a LOT to love at the parade this year. While Dallas isn’t known for “small town charm,” this little parade certainly showcased some of it’s finer attributes – friendliness, creativity, and community comradery. I hope everyone had a lovely day celebrating our wonderful country!

Love, Kate

Join in on the fun!
