Princeton Square Fourth of July Parade

I live in a small subdivision in Sandy Springs, Princeton Square. There are about 150 families, many with kids. Every 4th of July they have a little breakfast party down by the pool club followed by a parade around the neighborhood.

The kids decorate their bikes, scooters and wagons trying to win prizes in the various categories.

I don't know who is responsible, but the Sandy Springs Fire Department sends out a firetruck that leads the parade around the neighborhood.

After the parade, the firemen usually open up a hydrant and set up a huge geyser that is great fun for the kids.

Unfortunately, this year our area is experiencing a drought and there are strict watering restrictions in place. The kids were pretty disappointed but had a blast just swimming in the pool instead.

I had a nice and relaxing fourth of July. Hope you all did too.
