Happy Fourth of July

(James at the Beach)

(Cameron and James waiting for the parade to start -- of course they started ripping the decoration off the wagon)

(James, Cameron, Me, Whitney, Mark, Matt and Nan with the cute bull dog!)

( James at the kids concert at Tilly Pond! We had so much fun dancing to the music)

Happy Fourth of July!!! James had a great weekend with his girlfriend Cameron. They went to the beach together, had lunch together, and even participated in a parade together! We all laugh and call them the "old couple" because they have so much fun together and act as if they see each other everyday! They even share their binkis and sippy cups!
