Two of my boys at a Scouting Event. It must have been about 10 years ago (judging by the approximate age of the boys and the size of that guy's cel phone). This is a yearly scout fundraiser. Each troop hosts a booth and sells tickets. At this booth, the boys were probably waiting in line to walk across a rope bridge or something equally exciting.
And in observance of Independence Day - a picture of little me (holding the flag) with my Grandma and my cousin Susan. It was 1970 and I was three years old. My sister and I had spent a week in Prescott, Arizona with my Grandma and Grandpa. Every summer they would go spend a week or two there so that Grandpa could race his horses and ride in the parade. On this morning, I was too afraid to ride in the Parade. My sister was riding with Grandpa, while I stayed on the sidewalk to wave my flag as they rode by. I remember the dress (my favorite), I remember the parade, and I remember getting a set of plastic teacups that I spent hours stacking - teacup, saucer, teacup, saucer.

Kids do grow too fast don't they. You are so cute! Happy fourth!
What great pictures. Sounds like you have some great memories. I am trying to start traditions on holidays so my kids will have great memories.
Boy, just realized you are the same age as my oldest child! Her son is probably about the same age now that your older boy was on this photo -she got a late start, ya know. (Lateness seems to be her strong point -a week late arriving into the world and late for darned near everything ever since then too!)
Love the pictures though and the story about you and the flag too.
Have a great 4th.
Peace.
I see why the dress was your fav. Great shot for the day. Happy 4th.
these are such wonderful old photos! makes you wonder 'where does the time go'??
great memories, thanks for sharing.
Awesome pictures!
I love the one of you as a little girl!! What a great picture to go with the wonderful memories.
Cub Scouts and the Fourth of July, just go together don't they? Way to document the evolution of the cell phone!
what great photos and memories!
Wow, how time flies! This was spectacular! Happy 4th!
Love the old shot of you and the story. Fun memories!
We took the kids to go watch the parade... very short, thank goodness as it was getting warm!
Look how stinkin' cute your boys are!!! And look how stinkin' cute you are!
I love a good dusted off and pulled from the archives PSF. You are the best!!
While we've never gotten our boys into scouting, some of my favorite pictures of my brothers are their scouting activities!
LOVE the vintage pic of you!
love this - thanks for sharing!
Great photos! I got a chuckle out of the Mark Spitz joke.
Oh I love that photo of you! Those clothes are fabulous.
I never did figure out how to make pictures bigger. It was too confusing for me. I'm not the brightest.
Good memories. I love holiday traditions. My kids all hate fireworks, so we basically hide inside all day. No 4th of July traditions here. They've even decided they're scared of the parade, so that was out this year too! It's getting worse instead of better!
I love seeing old pictures and I love the one of you when you were little. Great photostory!
Great pics! I was checking out your recipes, as always and have one to share. If you worry about the red punch on the carpet, this is a great one.
