One of the biggest holidays here in Columbus is the 4th of July. We started our day at the Upper Arlington parade. I knew that Columbus was Buckeye-crazy, but never realized the extent of it until I saw that half of the floats in the parade were Buckeye-focused! I asked Brant whether we were celebrating the founding of our nation or the OSU Football team and he just smiled. Welcome to Ohio :)

Boy is this ever the truth..."Buckeye Babies Grow Up to be Buckeye Fanatics!" Spencer's favorite song? The OSU fight song. His favorite colors? Scarlet and Gray. And even as I write this blog, Gavin's wearing an Ohio State onesie. Amazing.
This was a hilarious float. Ohio State "doctors" are shown treating a University of Michigan football player. As they walked down the parade route, they would jokingly ask "Should we treat him?" and the crowd would say "No!" and then pretend to waver on whether or not to save him. A bit morbid, but hilarious all the same.
After the parade, we hung out at home for a while before going to the fireworks at Northam Park. We went with some of our good friends, the Buskens and the Morins. The fireworks were AMAZING and directly over our head. Spencer wasn't a fan at first, but liked them more and more as time went on.
