Toss a Ball, Dunk a Boy

A neighboring development here in Bethlehem welcomed kids from all over to enjoy July 4th fun while it still stayed sunny this morning. Before the bouncy bounce and climbing wall, kids paraded behind a Delmar Firetruck with ribbons and flags tied to their ten speeds.

Rocco and I were out for our daily walk when we stopped to sniff out a table of painted cupcakes and cookies. Earlier we walked the Delmar Farmers market at the Junior High School in search of ripe tomatoes. At the townhall, Bethlehem officials read a passage from the Declaration of Independence to a small group of boy scouts and nursing home retirees.

So, being back in Suburbia isn't that bad. I keep applying bug spray for no reason and checking for moose in my rear-view mirror. But, it's especially nice to back in the states to celebrate our independence.
