Happy July Birthdays!

Ian turns 32! Michele turns 31! Great-grandma turns 72!
America turns 229!


2 July: My mom made our cake, complete with cherry Snitches.
 

Great-grandma takes a look at her Polish pottery mug.

3 July: Great-grandma with the kids at Lake Accotink.

Ian received a wall map for tracking travels.  Way cool.
 

The Muvico in Arundel Mills is totally done up in its Egyptian theme.
 

2 July: Our heroic Red Knight.  He lost the tournament. Rebecca is wearing the ribbon he gave her as "Queen" for the evening, during the show.

We went to Medieval Times as a surprise birthday dinner.  This was Nicholas's face during the entire show as he ignored his meal.
 

  The boys with the king.  The king knighted mom, dad and great-grandma before the show.

4 July: The parade in Washington D.C.
 

The Magic School Bus.  All the balloons were kid-themed.

Who doesn't love the KissMobile?  Caramel kisses too?
 
 
Abe and Ben give a wave.
 

After the parade we went to the FolkLife Festival on the National Mall.  Oman was one of the featured areas.

  Every dance was flirtatious.

OK, he's plain silly.

She was tired.
 

And I don't know what they are.
 

Like great-grandmother, like great-grandson.

Waiting for the Capitol Fourth concert on the south side of the west lawn.

Jonathon got bored waiting so he colored his toenails with a blue crayon.

 


We tried to get a family photo.  Oh well.
