Parade

Steve and I were both lucky enough to sneak away from work this morning to attend the annual 4th of July Parade at Sara's school.  She had been asking and asking whether we'd be there, so we assumed she would be so excited to see us in the crowd.  However, after spotting us, this is how she walked through the parade:

 She was supposed to be shaking her homemade tambourine, but instead used it to hide.  She's always got a bit. When I picked her up today, Sara confirmed, "I was hiding from you at the parade."

 

She sort of acknowledged us after the parade, but mainly ignored us and went about her business with her friends.  It was clear that we were on her turf. 

  

 I guess she took the whole "independence" theme to heart.
