Well, I must say, the bunad party was a huge success, and my extended family made up almost the entire Daughter's of Norway section of the Maxwelton 4th of July parade.
We also had a Pete Seger singalong with the help of Mor Mor's songbook and Bacco's guitar pickin' but after a few songs the cousin brigade got a little restless and left to play on the swings while the "dolts" kept singing.
Uncle Tom set off fireworks in the evening while we feasted on s'mores. My mom wasn't paying attention, so I just ate as many as I could possibly eat in 15 minutes. It was pretty cool.
