Happy Birthday America!

4th of July 2010
I found this picture of Grace last year on the 4th of July at only 10 weeks old and I just couldn't believe how different she looks so I had to add it!!
4th of July 2011
and now look how big she is!!! eating her candy all by herself!

As you can see we continued the 27 year tradition of going to the 4th of July parade in Newtown Square.  This year was Kyle's first year being able to go and we were so happy to enjoy the parade together as a family.  I should have known having Kyle there would change things because as a float of young kids with water guns drove by Kyle (behind my back) pointed for them to squirt me with the water!!! Six kids with supersoakers got me pretty good! Needless to say I paid him back later and poured a bucket of water on him when he least expected :).



 Noah caught on really quick about the floats throwing candy.  We even got some 4th of July tattoos!

 At one point the Philly pretzel factory walked by and we got a little pretzel which Noah promptly ate.  Aunt Amy asked Noah for a piece and this is the TINY piece that he gave her!!!! He's a total man - unwilling to share his food!

Another great year at the Marple-Newtown 4th of July parade!  Can't wait until next year!

oh man. It looks like it was a blast. As we were walking home from our (sub-par) Capitol Hill 4th Parade, I recounted to Mark all of the amazing memories of good old Newtown Square.
