4th of July

For Fourth of July we started the day by taking part in the Montgomery Village 5k Race.  Here is Jim before the start:

Colleen and Avery cheered on

since we couldn't find a sitter to watch Avery and allow Colleen to run it.  Jim got 5th place overall, and man was it a hot race!!!!

Then we went to Harper's Ferry about an hour away from us in the beginning of the Appalachian Mountains. The Potomac there is wide and shallow with lots of places to play in the water.

We had a picnic, sat in our camping chairs, and played in the river

Then we ate dinner in Frederick MD on our way home and stayed for their fireworks show (small!) over the canal at their downtown park.
