Fourth of July

There are two things synonymous with the 4th of July other than barbeques and picnics and that's parade and fireworks. Luckily, I got to participate in both today.

First off was the parade: as a museum intern, I was part of the preparations, making signs and assisting with float decoration, but then I also got to walk in the parade.

And a cool old jalopy

So I didn't get too many pictures of the parade, but a friend's dad took pictures for me!

Later that night, there were fireworks. Kate and I headed down from the house to the waterfront, where we met up with the new Sound Watch intern, and had ice cream.
