We celebrated the 4th with my aunt Lee, for what has become our 4th of July tradition (see my posts from
'11, and
'10). Her town puts on the quintessential small town celebration, and it's so fun to hang out with my aunt.
First, here are a few pre-4th pix.
 |
| Great-grandma and Great-grandpa gave Lucy a real bike with training wheels last week. She is SO excited about it and rides it all the time. |
 |
| Here she is in action. |
 |
| I love Clara's grin in this picture. |
 |
| Lucy and I in the parade on the 4th- the kids all decorate their bikes and get to ride in the parade. |
 |
| Clara watching the miniature ponies in the parade. |
 |
| Are we patriotic or what? |
 |
| Clara's really getting into saying "cheese!" |
 |
| The girls were fascinated by the Morris dancers (traditional English folk dancing). |
 |
| Clara in the sponge relay- she had a blast running back and forth (with a little guidance). |
 |
| Here's a close-up. :) |
 |
| Lucy rocked the sack race. She didn't fall down once! |
 |
| Lucy on our firetruck ride. |
 |
| Relaxing after all the races. |
 |
| In the afternoon, Lee, Lucy and I went on a gorgeous walk, through a pine forest along a river. |
We finished off the day with a delicious dinner, a swim, and homemade
strawberry shortcake for dessert. A super relaxing and fun time.

Wow, that's something we miss out on entirely here. It looks amazing!!
This makes me homesick. I miss sharing these days with you. But I am so glad Lee is there and you are there for Lee.
