America's Birthday---Vermont Style (part one)

Each year our cute little town of Williston hosts a series of fun events to celebrate America's birthday. It's a chance to hang out with friends and neighbors and we always enjoy it. This year it has been pretty much raining every day since summer arrived, but the weather hardly ever dampens people's spirits in Vermont. It's one of the reasons that I love living here!

We started July 3rd at the town's ice cream social and ended up at our friend's Burlington home on Lake Champlain to watch the fireworks...in the rain.
Here are some of my favorite images from the day....

I love that our town is going green!!
My friend Mariana was the recycling police and made sure that folks were putting their bowls and spoons in the recycling bin. Don't you love her necklace?
The sign says it all.
Getting ice cream is serious business apparently.
Yummy!!
Here are a few fun pairs....

So I know this isn't the best fireworks shot, but it beat out the others because the sky was so pretty!
