Sailor suits!

Checking out the concert on the wharf

Every few feet we walked through the crowd, we ran into friends or neighbors. Avonlea Jane enjoyed dancing for a little bit with Alma.

Will tried out a doorway bouncer for the first time at Megan and Geoff's.

Cute Jack

Taking a snooze

In a retelling of "The Three Little Pigs," Avonlea Jane and Chris tried to blow down the brick wall.

Getting set for the fireworks on the roof-top deck

Looking at what A. used to call "boom colors"

A. enjoyed the first half of the fireworks sitting on Chris's lap, and then she wanted David to pick her up. She promptly fell asleep.
