Fourth of July Celebrations!

Thankfully when we leave the Lake House Vacation isn't over. For the past couple of years, Eric's cousin and his family have opened up their home to us. Ken and Kathy are amazing hosts! We always have a great time celebrating the Fourth of July with them and going into Boston.

Kathy is getting the low down on silly bands.

Thomas loved his glow stick!

I absolutely love fireworks!!!

Every year on the morning of the Fourth of July, their is a parade that leads down the streets of Boston to the Old State House. There the Declaration of Independence is read from the balcony. It is such a neat event to be a part of!

Thankfully Ken saw the twinkle in Thomas's eye when he noticed the police motorcycle, and took it upon himself to ask if Thomas could try it out. He was so proud!

The street performer was outstanding!

Thank you Anderson's for opening up your home! It was a wonderful end to our vacation!
