Lego 4th of July Parade

Recommended Posts

This past week, we celebrated our United States holiday, 4th of July. My 3 kids each built a Lego float and we created a parade around part of our town. They are very proud of this....and me too ;-)

Let us know what you think!

Sanitary specialists are critical when you have a parade of this magnitude that includes horses. Abraham Lincoln is on the chariot.

This parade is just precious! Your family did a mighty fine job showing what a parade with floats looks like on July Fourth. I can almost hear the marching band playing Souza! Sounds like they had a lot of fun working together on this. Way to go!

That is great!! Really, really love the stilts :wub: Also like how Washington has a waving flag, can't quite work out how youve done that. Nicely done.

All - thanks for all the kind comments! The kids will be asking me first thing in the morning to read it to them.

Sunhuntin - my son copied the flag exactly from Lego's fire brigade modular.

This is a very festive project indeed! It's nice to see that you and your kids share an interest, and you can all get together and enjoy building. The floats are incredibly detailed and the whole parade looks very fun. Your kids are incredibly lucky to have a parent like you!
