From Sea to Shining Sea!

My Country Tis of Thee……

that we had such a great patriotic event!  Wow, everybody went crazy over the tent and wanted to move in!!! My mom did a camping from “Sea to Shining Sea” look up front, but  like old time camping in a canvas tent with all the extra’s!  It looked like a Victorian expedition. Then, of course, there was ME! I was in a darling old wagon with stars overhead, I looked SO CUTE! I wore my red and blue toile dress and a paper hat with “sparklers”. 

 

All the Matilda’s girls got in the patriotic spirit and there were flag’s a flying everywhere!

   We had so much fun creating this event, we usually don’t use so many bright colors. I was happy that I got to be in the wagon on top of the table my Dad made from old wood flooring and old pipes!  

And the stars were shining……and the boats were sailing, well not really as there was quite a hole in the old boat, but it still glowed with the fish basket lights!

Out front, it was crazy! That silly “David” statue had on a hula skirt and was playing a ukulele! There were more big stars, and flowers and flags oh my!

 

In the end, I was all celebrated out and ready to go to bed!
