On the Blue Line going in. That's Mary, Amanda and Cody on the seat, and a car full of other families dressed just like us. Every seat was gone two stops after we got on. Cody bought that flag with his own money at the drugstore on Saturday and waved it the entire ride, at everybody, and most of them waved back.

Amanda's shirt is from last year. She says she'll wear it every Fourth until it doesn't fit, and at the rate she's growing that's next year.
