KIRKLAND – Things had come full circle Wednesday for Jenny Robbins and Kim Kreitinger during the Kirkland Lions Club’s Fourth of July parade.

The two friends, once regular participants in the parade while growing up in Kirkland, watched cars and floats go by with their own children. Neither lives in the area any longer – Kreitinger resides in Madison, Wis., while Robbins lives in San Diego – but they chose to return for the holiday celebration and expose their young children to the parade.

Wednesday morning’s parade was one of the main attractions during the Kirkland Lions Club’s 64th consecutive Fourth of July celebration.
