Spending the day with cousin Jared and his wife Katy = DOUBLE AWESOME!
Seriously, we had a great day:
First we saw the parade. Even though we showed up right before it started, we got a great spot thanks to Katy and a push-over female cop. :)
Jenna enjoyed most of it. Look how cute she is waving her little flag:
There were tons of floats, balloons, and bands:
 |
| I think this one was my favorite. |
 |
| We realized that Jenna had no idea who all the balloon characters were, until this guy came out! |
 |
| Jenna learned that we live in America! |
 |
| Cute story: When these "southern belles" walked by, I asked Jenna which was her favorite. She said the yellow one because she looked like Belle. I suggested she blow her a kiss, which she did. Well, the girl in the parade happened to look over right then, and blew Jenna a kiss back! Then she was waving and pointing Jenna out to the other girls. Jenna was acting bashful, but I know she loved it! |
The parade was over two hours long! We could tell Jenna was getting bored when she looked like this:
We wanted to see the Declaration of Independence, but the line was probably another two hours long! So we decided to see it next week! Instead, we explored Jenna's favorite museums.
 |
| Jenna weighs 74 lbs. on Jupiter! |
 |
| This is a silly booth that takes your picture and shows what you would look like as a Neanderthal. |
 |
| Jenna was so happy to have a friend that shares her love of fish! |
 | |
| Jenna loves Katy and Jared! She wanted to be with them all week! (I don't know why Katy's making a funny face...!) |
We got another great spot to watch the fireworks!
 |
| Jenna entertained herself by playing with dirt while we waited... |
 | |
| After the initial awe, Jenna kept busy taking TONS of pictures, most of which look like this. It's hard taking pictures of fireworks! |
I took this at the end, so there is a lot of smoke!
Yep, it doesn't get much more awesome than that! ...except for the 2 hours it took to get home... gotta love D.C. metro! We even ran into a couple fellow BYUers!
