4th Traditions

We all enjoyed the Fourth of July Indian Hill Parade at 10am this morning, followed by the festivities at Stephan Field with music provided by the Indian Hill Ranger Band.  They are either good or the nostalgia of the songs, the festive atmosphere and dancing spectators disguised any flaws.   Jenna (now almost 21) was right there on the edge of the road awaiting the multitude of candy being thrown to spectators. 

It was a hot dry day (one of the hottest parades I can remember) and you could see it in the damp clothing of the crowd.  We had a wonderful evening with the neighborhood B's - burgers, dogs, bake beans, salad and home made Rocky Road ice cream. 

The thunder has emerged this evening threatening the community fireworks.  I'm sure this minor threat will not deter Jenna and Paul from their rendezvous with friends at the Blue Ash fireworks.  Ellen may join a friend to view the Indian Hill fireworks. 

The only strange part enjoying this day is that tomorrow is a work day (for those not taking vacation).

Happy 4th of July.
