4th of JULY!!!

And here it is only July 6th & I'm posting pix from the 4th of July. So proud of myself!

(Love the new camera!!)

Not crystal clear but you get the idea -- this juggler/comedian was performing on the town common at OSV. They had quite a bit of activities & performers for the evening, before the fireworks began. This guy was HILARIOUS... Lucky Bob was his name.

Merrik (w/ a slightly weird look on his face) & Jared - getting comfy to watch the fireworks.

Oh yeah, we'd been drinking blue slushies so Merrik's mouth was blue from that... :)

Bill & Dolores (Jared's dad & step-mom) came to celebrate w/ us -- Yay!!

Alli & Jonah - claiming our spot on the grass.

Merrik laid down his own blanket & got cozy. SO CUTE!!

These drummers & militia men marched thru the Common at OSV to begin the festivities.

Happy Birthday To Me! A day with the fam at OSV - what could be better?!?

LOVE the fireworks at Old Sturbridge Village!

Jonah & his lights-up sword at the festivities.

Merrik visiting the oxen.

At first he didn't want to even get close to the fence cuz these guys are enormous.

In this photo, the ox is probably sitting 15 feet from the fence.

But finally he got over his nerves & smiled for this very cute pic!! :)
