| Flynn and Guinness were very excited to see Kirkland’s Fourth of July parade. | Debra stayed home to take a break. The rest of us headed out early so we could park close. | So while we waited, the kids rode their bikes around the skate park. | Flynn eventually worked up to riding up and then coasting down the hill. | A good hug just before the parade starts. | The parade started with the “kids’ parade”, with lots of children on bikes. |
| The kids parade is nearly done. | Seahawks boosters. | Historic fire engine (left over from Kirkland’s 2005 Centennial?) | There were even lion dancers! | The boys really enjoy lion dancers. | More lions. White on gold, and… |
| …black on green. | Kirkland’s 2008 Fourth of July celebrated the 50th anniversary of NASA. | The parade included this spectacular rocket float. | The boys really like rockets. | Getting a better view. | Guinness considers the chances of getting up on the post itself. |
