Independence Day, 2011

Yes, thank you, we had a very nice Independence Day Near Philadelphia.  Two-thirds of our kids and three-quarters of our grandchildren were here.  They attended the morning events at the park, including the peanut scramble, foot races, and decorated stroller competition.  After lunch and a bit of down time, they attended the parade and returned home hungry.  We had a huge pot-luck picnic here, and then everyone settled in on our front lawn to watch the fireworks.  It was a really, really good holiday.

Here are some more photos of our honored guests.


His stroller was beautifully decorated, but his parents chose not to enter the competition.  I suspect they didn't want to make anyone feel bad.


Getting the best possible look at the parade is very important.


The day was not without some minor disappointments, but a smooth and complete recovery on the part of a tired little girl.


Speaking of tired, this whole parade thing can be exhausting!
