Since Pete was still in Chicago with Uncle Steve, Mom and Dad took Sam over to the Pavilion for the Ashburn Village July 4th festivities. It was on a Sunday this year.
Sam arrived at the path at 10:30. No one was around this year. It was too hot. Sam waited patiently for the parade to arrive. He skipped some stones and rode around on his scooter.
Finally, the parade arrived. They were led by Pete's cub scout troop. The scouts were handing out lollipops to everyone cheering on the parade. Since this was pretty much just Sam, there were several people offering lollipops to Sam - which he gladly accepted.
Sam joined the parade for the short walk around the lake to the Pavilion.
Sam saw several friends at the Pavilion. He had breakfast with Garrett:
He rode the train with Dad. It looped around the circle in front of the building.
Sam and Dad went swimming in the Pavilion pool, did the dunk tank, went on some blow-up rides, took a canoe out on the lake, walked over to BK, walked back, and got cotton candy.
Later that evening, Sam enjoyed the fireworks on the hill. No one on the street was home, but Sam had visitors from the Broadlands - Ben, Josh, Daniel, Jackson, and Mason. After the official fireworks, Sam and Dad set off some fireworks out on the street by themselves. It was a bit quiet and surreal, but they had a good time.
