Sadie Loves America

Sadie loved the 4th of July! We did so many activities and had a blast with Grandma and Grandpa.
The day started with a parade in Hanover. This was a pretty understated parade, to put it mildly, but Sadie enjoyed seeing the kids on their decorated bikes and hearing the bagpipe band.

After the parade were activities on the Green, including a small petting zoo, some dogs who herded ducks, vintage cars, and more. Sadie especially loved watching the fabulous Foggy Mountain Cloggers. She danced along to the music.


Children were allowed to sit in the fire truck.

That night, we went over to Andy, Laura and Isaac's to see the fireworks. By the time we arrived, Isaac had gone to bed, but Sadie had a good time playing on their hammock and generally running around with a two year old boy who was among the guests.

The fireworks were a little loud and scary, but she was brave. Mommy and Daddy have to admit they like it when Sadie gets a bit nervous, because she becomes very cuddly with us. The next morning, as she and Daddy were driving, she remarked "boom boom" as they headed towards the area where the fireworks were.

Hi Sadie! I saw dogs herding ducks on my holiday! They were very funny. I'm glad you had a good day!

A boring parade, clogs, fire trucks, hammocks, boom boom... Sadie got the real American experience on her 4th of July. Sadie, your parents are good to you.
