This weekend was the 250th birthday of our little town Holderness NH. The first to arrive was the very stylish Mattatuck Fife and Drum Band. They were the first to arrive 50 years ago at the 200th celebration.
Then up on the street we honored the real natives to the area.
Of course everyone was there, Hello Mr Lincoln!
They came in from the farms to be there.
and back from war.(or is he a messenger?)
They came by canoe...
very stylish antique boats.
and very old steam powered boats. There was a parade on the street followed by an antique boat parade of about 25 boats. All shiny and beautiful. The night before this there was a street dance and David even got up for a few dances!
We capped the weekend off with a visit from Miss Baby. She is getting so funny now. All in All a wonderful weekend I hope you had the same.

Happy Birthday! My little town is only 130 or 131 years old. We've got a ways to go to catch your town! Sounds like a wonderful celebration and I love how some arrived in boats.

If you looked up the word "cute" in the dictionary, I'm sure you would find Miss Baby's picture. My how she is growing!
