July 4th


July 4th was a hot muggy one this year! Just as it should be. We were up in Vermont and went to a parade in my hometown of Williston. Now, Williston is not that big and so the parade has a bit of this, a bit of that. An independence day hodge-podge if you will. It includes the usual staples such as big firetrucks, police cars, horses and, because we are in Vermont, tractors of course. But also featured are  the women that do the local Jazzercise, a group that performs some kind of routine with a chair, boy scouts, Miss Vermont U.S. International (who knew of this title?), and a guy dressed up like a camel. Because no July 4th parade is complete without that. 

Ashton had a ball. He saw some trucks, picked up some candy, and spent a good deal of time on Uncle Erik's lap listening to the music and watching people wave. I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves because I have to get packing for our next adventure: Block Island on Monday for five days! Woo! 





















The end!
