The Annual Teddy Bear Picnic This was Grant's 4th year in this Kids' Parade put on by the local Museum. Last year's pictures were wiped out by my camera, so I tried to take plenty this year. The event happened to fall on Independence Day!

| A modern day Huck Finn. | (curtain rises, music plays) ... "ONE! -- Singular sensation..." | |

| Ice cold treat on a very warm day. | I love this pic of Grant sharing so carefully with Kit. | |
 |
 |
|
| Baby brain freeze? | "Yum! Ice cream!" | |
 |
 |
|
| Our county is having its 150th Anniversary, so the theme for the day was "Happy Birthday". Kit seems pretty overwhelmed by the 6' cake. | ||
 |
After the Teddy Bear Picnic, and before fireworks, the kids "get in a little sand time" and wind down. |
|
 |
 |
|
"Can't you paparazzi leave me alone?" |
"Well, okay. Just one shot... " |

|
| Building a better Mousetrap. (Nudity apparently required.) | Has anyone seen Gretel?? | |
