After the Parade

After the parade we usually go to the pond and hang out while the kids swim. The last two years we have had the Ponds/Ballards come hang out too. Hopefully we have started our own little tradition in doing this. Ben gets to do cowboy stuff with Rhett and Melissa and I get to catch up with each other. It is just nice to have time to spend together. I really hope we get to do this every year. Here are a few pictures of our afternoon.

Jacob (Melissa's son) was so cute just taking a break. He is the cutest little cowboy.
