Last year for the 4th of July Maddie was a little small to really appreciate the whole parade, fireworks thing. This year was a little different, and a lot more fun !!! We started the weekend before the 4th at the Darlington parade. It was the perfect trial run and Madeleine made a new friend, a little boy named Garrett. Fast forward to the big day, July 4th. I had to photograph the morning events in Bel Air. Hamster races, turtle derby and frog jumping contest Maddie and Kathleen came along and got nice front row seats inside the ring as I wondered around shooting. Maddie wasn’t really interested in the critters but had a good time rolling around trying some watermelon and having a good time. Thanks to my friend Laura who snapped a few really nice images of the family, which is sometimes rare becuase I’m usually behind the camera. Check out the USA’s B-Day page for a few more pics !
I love girls in pigtails!
