If there's one way to celebrate the 4th of July it's to put the date directly on your face. The 15th Annual Admiral Neighborhood Children's Parade had kids, dogs, parents, fire trucks, bikes, wagons, strollers, and a whole lot of smiling people.

What appeared to be well over a thousand people, including parents and kids, rode bikes, scooters, wagons and strollers through the Admiral Neighborhood in the 15th annual staging of the Admiral Neighborhood Children's Parade.
The event sponsored by The Admiral Neighborhood Association, Weitzel Construction, Kayle Shulenberger, Speech-Language Pathologist, and the parents and families of West Seattle began shortly after 10 AM, beginning in the 1100 block of 44th Ave. S.W. The Hi-Yu princesses were on hand as was County Executive Dow Constantine.
The parade wound around the block, crossing California Avenue and came down the side street to enter Hamilton Park (the viewpoint) for sack lunches and blanket Popsicles. Wheelbarrow races, sack races, and an free form beach ball game of Soakum kept the kids busy and happy.
