Red, White, Blue and Heat - Happy 4th!

Our spring in New England was unusually warm and we all loved it. The month of June was the hottest on record and we sort of loved it. The month of July started out sizzling hot, and let's just say we are tiring of the heat just a bit. Nonetheless, the season in Cotuit really opens with the July 4th parade, and the heat couldn't keep our kids from marching in the town parade.


The Cotuit parade is a bit of a free for all. There are some organized groups who march, but at least 50% of the parade participants are kids and families who dress up and march, cycle, scooter, ride in cars, or on boats, or on unicycles, or in wagons and throw candy to the smaller number of people on the sidelines. Our kids love it! Edie and Gemma paraded this year with their friends, Olivia, Audrey and Henry. Gemma and Henry rode in the wagon, "managing" the candy supply.


Olivia, Audrey and Edie paraded with their Razors proudly decorated.


It was hot, hot, hot. The girls both needed to cool off once the festivities were over. Hope everyone had a very happy 4th!
