4th of July

Dylan enters the festivities

Sitting quietly (shocker!) during the magician's show

Dylan not pictured as he got bored with the clown and tried to run out of the park (but was stopped by the Secret Service agents patrolling the perimeter of the place...)

On Saturday, we went to a nice picnic sponsored by the U.S. Consulate and various American and Italian companies. It was held in the sculpture garden of a contemporary art museum in Milan. I don't think Dylan understood enough of what was going on to get in touch with his "American side" but he had a good time nonetheless. He wasn't interested in the corn on the cob, baked beans or hot dogs but he did eat cotton candy for the first time. Maybe next year he will appreciate the holiday more, especially as our plan (fingers crossed) is to be living in the U.S.!
