4th of July fireworks in Columbia, MD,

Lake Kittamaqundi lakefront in 2016

Happy 4th of July!

Itsenaisyyspaivan kunniaksi kuvatulvaa aamuisesta paraatista :)

Eli tassa The Greater Severna Park and Arnold Chamber of Commerce July 4th parade:

Paraati kesti 1.5h eli ihan hyva, etta otettiin tuolit mukaan!

Hieman katsojia heh

Meidan oli alunperin tarkoitus menna tanaan illalla viela katsomaan Annapolisin paraatia ja ilotulitusta, mutta puolen paivan aikaan alkoi satamaan niin paljon vetta, etta paraati peruttiin. Odottelemme edelleen tietoa ilotulituksen kohtalosta, mutta illaksi on luvattu ukkosmyrskya eli saa nahda.

Oikein mukavaa itsenaisyyspaivaa sita juhliville ja oikein loistavaa alkanutta viikkoa kaikille!

Happy 4th of July!

Since we are currently in Finland, we are not celebrating the Independence Day with fireworks. We could, of course, apply for a special permit to use them, but it's still pretty much 24h daylight, so there's really no point in spending money on fireworks ;)

Instead we went to a picnic with friends yesterday and had some delicious apple pie with ice cream. Today I made husband a cheeseburger and some corn-on-the-cob for both of us. We had blueberry pie for dessert, delicious! Unfortunately I didn't take any photos, but I hope you'll take my word for it :)

We also got some special mail today, a wedding invitation. A lot of my friends in the U.S have gotten married this summer, since they just graduated college and I'm unfortunately missing all of their weddings. I'm really bummed, I would've loved to go to their weddings in Nebraska, Tennessee and Mississippi! I admit I've been looking at the weddings photos afterwards a little bit teary-eyed.

Today's wedding invitation came from husband's friends and I though the invitation was really classy! I think the wedding itself will be a good ol' country wedding, but the invitation sure looks modern, love it! We will unfortunately have to pass this wedding as well, but we'll send them some Finnish design glass as a present I think. I'm really bummed, since I absolutely love going to weddings. This one would've been in my husband's hometown, so he would have loved to go as well. They're getting married in a different church, but the venue is the same as ours.

Happy Independence Day everyone! :)

Happy 4th of July on Random Tuesdays! Hopefully everyone will have an amazing independence day tomorrow! Pictured is a patriotic plate on a Ford Coupe during the Vermont State Fair, if I remember correctly, in 2006.

Happy 4th of July!

We're not really celebrating 4th of July this year, since we are in Finland. But here is a blast from my past: lady cloggers from the traditional Wardsboro 4th of July parade in Vermont :)

and a firetruck, also from Wardsboro, VT

Happy 4th of July!
