The People Demand It!

I started the Fourth at the Millcreek Fourth of July Parade. I went with my sister and my 2 1/2 year-old nephew, who loved the firetrucks and the music! Millcreek puts on a great parade, and we enjoyed every minute of it…even though I was up late on the phone the night before and didn’t get much sleep!

Later on, I went to my friend Chris’ for a shindig. We ended up playing some Boccie with some of Chris’ Italian relatives, and as you can see below, it ended up getting serious with measurements and all! Later on, it was back out onto the bay to watch “Boom Over the Bay”.

It was pretty darn chilly out on the bay, especially for a guy who lives in warmer climes these days. Also, I liked the strong law-enforcement presence out on the water. Special thanks to the crews from the Erie Station of the U.S. Coast Guard - they were out there working hard on a day most of us got to spend with our families!
