Independence Day '12


We decided to go to the morning parade in Towson this year.  It turned out better than we had hoped-- a shady, grassy place to watch the parade...


...time before the parade began to ride scooters in the street...


...news that a man was trying to set a new Guiness World Record for the most people blowing bubbles at one time, and all parade-goers got to participate in the attempt (no word yet if we were successful)...


... and a whole bunch of marching dogs!  Avery LOVES dogs, can you see her little lips making a doggie sound in this picture?


Steve had to hold her back; she was ready to join the pooches...




We made sure to wave our flags when the Fire Department began to march by...


Then we stopped by Station 8 to visit Lieutenant Poppy with our lunch...


Our visit was cut short, though.  Duty called...


We finished up the day with a nap and a swim in our new big swimming pool with cousins!  Then Grace and Leah and Steve went to see the Annapolis fireworks.

Love these pictures! How I wish I had been home and could have gone with you all to the parade. Would loved to have seen Avery's reactions to it all.
