Happy 4th Hon!

The 4th of July is a big holiday around here.  The traditions have changed over the years but it's still a great day to spend with friends and family!  We went to the Dundalk parade every 4th of July, probably since I was born, up until a few years ago when my grandparents moved to Harford County. 
It's a great parade and even better people watching!  

Actually, the title of this post comes from one of my grandparent's neighbors that we used to sit next to at the parade.  She would clap through pretty much the whole parade and say,
"Happy 4th Hon!"  Maybe you had to be there but she really loved the parade and had some Dundalk pride!

We still visit the area around the 4th to go to the Dundalk Heritage Fair for some great music, food, and still... the people watching!
We went to see a Beatles band, The Mahoney Brothers
and they were really good!

 At the Heritage Fair - this was supposed to be daddy's ice cream to share with Addie...
I think he got a few bites
In all her ice cream glory

 Do you notice a theme with the ice cream?  Brin was so nice to share!

 Why do they listen to "make a silly face" but not "smile"?





We tried!

A few gems I didn't capture:

* more of the 'scenery' in Dundalk (seriously, if you haven't been, mark your calendar for the festivities next year) 
* Addie burned her finger touching a sparkler after it went out... poor girl!
* the boys setting off fireworks... fortunately no one lost any digits or limbs


Happy 4th!!
