Fourth of July Parade and Outhouse Race

We've been in Vermont almost a week. I took the kids to Lake Dunmore on Wednesday and unfortunately my camera was out of batteries. We'll definitely go back and take pictures. The lake was beautiful and clear, not too cold. There are hiking trails nearby that we plan to explore.
Today, we spent the morning in Bristol, a little town not far from here. They are famous for their outhouse races. They take the frames of outhouses, place them on wheels and decorate them. One person sits inside while to others push and pull to the finish line. Four outhouses raced at a time with the winner in each heat going into the final.







After the races we watched the parade. Liam loved all the fire trucks until he realized that candy was being thrown.
