7-4-2010: "I can't dance. I have to watch the pie."

One of the parks in Ridgewood hosted a Revoluntionary War encampment of reenactors for the 4th today. Ellen and I walked over at noon, which was the time that the paper listed for the musket demonstrations. However, we ended up seeing a pretty awkward demonstration of colonial dancing. We were amused and it was a fun way to spend a little bit of time. Our favorite part was when Ye Olde Dancing Announcer/Emcee was trying to gather all of the colonial dancers and one of Ye Old Dancing Reenactors said that he couldn't dance because he had to "watch the pie." (They were cooking some pie over a fire.)

I snapped this shot of two of the women tending to the food on the fire.

Ridgewood's parade and fireworks are tomorrow so we'll continue with some patriotism then. Happy Birthday, America!
