4th of July - 2013

Our family went to the cabin for the 4th of July weekend. We spend 5 nights at the cabin which is the most nights I have ever spent at the cabin at one time.

Lots of family came up to the cabin. Nonni, Poppy, Uncle Ben, Johnny, the kids, my cousins Matt and Geoff, my Grandma, my Aunt Shelly, my Uncle Kerry, my cousin Matt's fiance, Matt's fiance's sister, Matt's fiance's daughter, and my college friends Stacy and Joe Marchesano.

One thing we tried to do every time is roast marshmallows for smores and sing songs by the campfire. Our songs included Puff the Magic Dragon, This Land is Your Land, and Beautiful Trees (a song from Sid the Science Kid on PBS). Uncle Ben would play the guitar and Pennington would pretend to play his ukulele. On our last night at the cabin we did Havdallah (the end of the Jewish sabbath). We didn't have a Havdallah candle so we used sparklers instead.

Below are some photos from the campfires.

 

 

On the 4th of July we went to the parade in Cascade. The parade had lots of floats from local businesses, lots of firefighter trucks, and candy. The firefighter trucks sprayed water on all of the spectators. Below are some pictures of the kids in there 4th of July outfits and at the parade.
