How to celebrate the 4th of July in the United Kingdom?  How to express joy for independence from a country that we're currently living in?!  Well, we tried to celebrate it just the same as we would if we were back in the States! :-)

There was a Fourth of July festival at one of the air force bases near us that we took the kids to:

Little Grandma took Tally and Ryann on a Scrambler...

And scramble they did...

The favorite was bumper cars...

Tim with Ryann...

Little Grandma & Adayla taking it entirely too seriously!

There's a smile...

There is surely a pacifier behind Xanthy's pacifier...

Then we went down to Bury St Edmonds...

To check out the cathedral...

Just wow...

Then into the town center...

For lunch and to check out the market...

Ryann's loving being a big sister!

Family-model bike..

Finishing up the day with patriotic face-painting!

Happy Fourth!
