Fourth of July Recap

We enjoyed an active visit to Catonsville last weekend for the Fourth of July.

From Friday night through Wednesday morning we managed to fit in, among other things, the following activities: a swim meet; a surprise 70th birthday party for my dad; the Fourth of July parade and fireworks; a visit to Camden Yards (even though the Orioles were out of town); and a family trip to the pool. The Fourth of July was made even more exciting by the fact that Dad was named the official town crier of Catonsville, which in one biased son's opinion is long overdue.

Here's a sampling of the many videos and 225 photos we took during the course of our visit.
