Belatedly yours.

Some photos from Fourth of July in New Hampshire.

This is the view from the deck of my aunt and uncle's lake house. It's on an island in Lake Winnipasaukee, the largest lake in NH.


This is my cousin Corey and the well-traveled (and wildly popular among the cousins) Chihuahua, Carson. Carson enjoyed harassing Corey's family dog, Hazel (a Golden Retriever), frightening off a couple of Boxers, sitting in the bow of a motorboat, and being fussed over by the girls. He did not enjoy swimming quite so much.



After a lovely barbecue and some swimming and sunning, we were driven back to the mainland by my (other) aunt and uncle (who live on the lake year-round... pretty sweet). I took some pictures of the fam during the journey. This is my beautiful mother:



This is Bridget with the pater familias behind her.

The lake at dusk:


On the day of the 4th, we convened, along with other New Bostonians, at the Fourth of July Parade. The theme for the floats was "games." As usual, the Rev. "Woody" Woodland of the Presbyterian Church provided excellent commentary throughout the event.

This is my cousin Mil, her husband, and their adorable baby.




This is Hayley, striking a pose on the bridge in a very patriotic hat.


Pretty horses (they were pulling the Molly Stark cannon)


Some of the floats:





Some tractors (I think they were promoting a John Deere expo, if memory serves):




Only you can prevent forest fires.


This is a man in a banana suit. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
