The Dunham Children's Learning Center's tradition of an Independence Day parade – sometimes on bikes and scooters, occasionally not; sometimes rained-in, most times outdoors – continued with a spirited stroll in the Monday sun. In addition to their fresh-air jaunt, the Bears, Birds and Bunnies (along with some parents who came out to watch) enjoyed one another's friendship on the eve of a festive Fourth.
