On the 4th of July last year, our Home Owners Association started doing a pancake breakfast and bike parade. They have a pretty good turn out for the occassion and our kids really like decorating their bikes for the parade. The kids each decorated their own bike except I did the crepe paper in the wheels.
The highlight of the breakfast is the chocolate chip pancakes with vanilla syrup. They also have a rootbeer syrup, but I don't want to give up the vanilla syrup to try it. They have each family bring either a side dish or drink to share and bring your own plates, forks, etc. Last year it seemed like their were a lot of sides and not enough drink and so this year I brought OJ, and I guess everyone had the same thought. We had a ton of drinks and not much sides. Oh, well though the pancakes were great enough!
As you can see, the kids had a great time riding around the commons area in the parade. There are actually a lot of kids in our neighborhood and everyone seemed to have decorated a bike. Surprisingly though, there aren't usually many injuries. Especially with the pack of kids that they have.
Jayden thought he would get in on the action. He started off by walking around with the bikers, but then Melissa put him in the stroller and walked him around.
