Fourth of July 2012

Another Fourth of July is coming to a close and it was a great one!  We drove out to Hingham for the parade/BBQ at Mimi & Buppy's house. 

Here's Jake posing with M&A shortly before we started the walk to the parade route.

Meghan was, as always, a huge help with the twins.  She pulled the wagon most of the way and kept an eye on them during the entire parade.  Such a wonderful cousin!  And the kids collected lots of candy that was thrown from the various floats.

A little girl bonding after we got back from the parade (red, white & blue nailpolish).

Aidan & Mimi chillin' out.

Maddie & Grandma practicing their softball skills.

Fabulous Meghan at it again reading to all of the kids.



They finished up the afternoon with a dip in the Riddles' pool. 

We were pleasantly surprised that Aidan loved the parade (we skipped it last year in case the noise level was too much for him).  Picky Maddie, on the other hand, was less than pleased that she was squirted by a water gun from one of the floats.  Next year we'll put her in a raincoat :-)

Happy Fourth to everyone!!!
