Given the way the title phrase comes up at least twice a day, we headed to Mount Vernon to celebrate with George and Martha.
We ran into Norah and Walter and their parents in the lobby. They are friends from VBS.
We all watched the daytime fireworks together on the back lawn.
Then Max and Dad spent almost 2 hours watching the soldiers drill and asking lots of questions. We were proud of how engaged he was in the conversations.
Meanwhile, Evelyn and Mom enjoyed snacks and playing in the dirt.
We did get pretty into flag waving during the artillery demonstrations.
