O Say Can You See (A Little Early)

There was a Fourth of July "Parade" at Lily's school/camp today. The kids have been making decorations all week and couldn't wait to show them off.

And while the temperature cooperated -- it's a glorious day in the mid-70s here today -- the sun wasn't too friendly. Or rather it was TOO friendly. Either way, it shone directly in their eyes the entire time they marched around the school property.

Damn sun...

...DAMN the sun...

...damn, damn the SUN!

Clearly folks took the "please dress your child in patriotic attire" email seriously. I think I only spotted one person not in red, white and blue or some combination thereof. Then again, we live in the Washington, DC area. We take EVERYTHING seriously!
