Stella and I headed over to the home of Bill, Jen, and little Finley for their annual 4th of July shindig. Unfortunately, Sean was on the first day of his sinus infection (we didn't know it at the time) and we left him home to sniffle and nap on the porch. The Lockard-Dugan household sits right on Fredrick Rd and is a front row seat for Catonsville's parade. This is a big deal; for those who don't know, a week or so before the parade, folks start putting out their chairs along the parade route! Stella was a bit overwhelmed by the 15 or so emergency vehicles with sirens blaring that started off the parade but warmed up to the rest; she especially enjoyed the bands with drums.
The weather was lovely, the food was excellent, the company was great, and the parade was as quirky and entertaining as always! I'm not having good luck importing photos, so here are two links. The first one is a picture of Stella at last year's 4th of July bash, just over 2 months old. The second a shot from this year. What a difference! While you are there, Bill has some great parade photos too!
