At 12:00pm today we got a text from Grace saying the parade was at 1:30pm so we dropped what we were doing and hightailed it over! We made it shortly after they had lined up. Perfect timing! 
After the parade the Declaration of Independence was read.
Once the reading of the Declaration was done everyone headed back to the various houses/buildings. Grace was in the Fitch House (one of my most favorite houses at OSV. My other favorite is the parsonage) so we decided to go peek in on what she was doing over there.
Today, she was helping in the kitchen where they were making Independence Cake. Sadly, because she's not eighteen she's not able to eat anything that they cook or bake (due to things being unpasteurized).
The 4th of July celebration at Old Sturbridge Village is one of our most favorite days at the village. This is the one day that Grace really wanted to be at OSV and we are so glad that she was able to be one of the Junior Interns there today. It wouldn't feel like Independence Day to us if we didn't go to the village, watch the parade and listen to the reading of the Declaration. It's such a simple celebration, but so very meaningful. Happy Independence Day, everyone! xo
