4th of July Riverside Park Style

 We had a Great Day at the Riverside Park, 4th of July celebration.

 It started off with the Parade!!!

 Then eating some scones under the bowery while the little ones played in the
Children's Carnival.

 Of course there had to be face painting...

 Baby Thatcher enjoyed his ride

 A family photo at the Parade...(Notice Grandpa Jim in the sidelines)

 and More face painting...

 Then in the afternoon, the Firetruck was brought in for a great time of water and kids.

 the kids got soaked and we enjoyed sitting nearby in the mist....

We ended the day by catching a couple games of baseball.  It was a great Day!!! even without the fireworks.  Better to be safe than sorry.....
