Most of the fun stuff happened on the fifth around here. Christian and I got up bright and early to run the one mile fun run. The whole family tagged along for support. What troopers! I appreciate that!
It was great. I hope the race will become a tradition. I told him I want to run the 5K next year. He said maybe. But, about half way through the mile, he huffed, "Mom, are you sure this isn't the 10K?" Well, maybe the 5K will have to wait another year or two.Sophie was particularly supportive.
We even got "medals." (Everyone who participated got them!) Christian thought Sophie should wear his.
We went to the parade with friends. It was great. I don't have any pictures to share.
We visited colonial days. We ran into this guy.
Should we tell him that he was not colonial? Odd. Anyway... Ashton and Roxie got their names written in calligraphy.
Roxie was pretty pleased about the whole thing.
Doug and Christian played colonial games.
We had a great time celebrating one of my very most favorite holidays, celebrating the land of the free and the home of the brave.
