Allandale came out in full force yesterday for it's annual 4th of July parade. Having a little one is unpredictable so Siena and I ended up catching the end of the parade at Gullett Elementary School. The parade was complete with classic cars, men in uniform (1800's style), and tons of kiddos on bikes and in strollers.
Gullett is the perfect place to have this gathering with a shaded playground and covered area as well. Because even at 9am it is HOT in July in Austin. So after the local band and all of the parade arrived, we sang the star spangled banner and then Kathy Tovo and the police chief spoke giving updates on city and neighborhood info.
Other nice items.....HEB donated cold bottled water, yes! The Amy's Ice cream Van was a hit as usual, the line was HUGE, we might need two vans next year. There were also breakfast tacos from TacoDeli, lots of great local food. Allandale T-shirts were available and the whole area was bustling with red, white, and blue!
Siena enjoyed her first 4th of July Parade!!
