Patriotic Parade

An annual tradition at Harding during summer camp is the July 4th parade. All the kids from age 2 through entering 6th grade participate. They walk or ride in wagons, on tricycles or cozy coupes that are all decorated for the holiday. All the kids wear red, white and blue and it is a great time. The parade begins with a sheriff's escort (one of the early childhood teachers is married to the chief of police in Bartlett) and a banner expressing their love for the USA. Music is playing and overall it is super cute. The girls wore matching outfits and had a great time! Afterwards they all enjoy popsicles or "firebombs" which are red, white and blue bomb pops! Yay for July 4th!
