Fourth of July, 2009

We celebrated Independence Day with flags and cherry icies at our favorite spot in town, Marietta Square. Sam just kind of went with the flow (while proudly waving the flag), but Kate loved every minute of it. There were tons of vendors lining the street, and Kate's budding love of shopping was on full display. She had to walk through every single aisle, touch all things remotely shiny or shimmery, and even tried on a feathery hot pink boa. All with patriotic pride, of course. We could'nt stay to enjoy the fire works; we just didn't have it in us. Toddlers outside in soaring temperatures tend to drain every bit of energy out of you.
