Happy July 4th

Alice & Emily in the trailer, Harvard, MA

Happy July 4th! This is also the first one for our family in the US. 

This year Acton did not have fireworks or other celebration activities. However, Emily and Alice were lucky to attend the July 4th parade in Harvard, the small town near us. Thanks to Bare Hill Rowing Association to have this chance to experience the local activities. Emily joins the summer rowing program and Alice also starts the learn to row this summer. 

 

We were also discussing if we go to watch fireworks at the Charles River in Boston. Emily said why we want to see the explosion of the mixed chemical substances. Oh~ my god! Alice also would rather play with friends in the community. 

Finally, we stayed at home and watched the broadcast while Emily and Alice were dyeing and highlighting their hair. Meanwhile, I found one thing: in the July 4th Capitol Event, there are no remarks or speeches from the President or some important political VIP. The remarks were arranged separately from the celebration/fireworks at night. 

Anyway, we had our first July 4th in the US, a home-based and sweet night.
