The parade started with 4 jets flying in formation right down main street then they turned around and came back. What a thrill to watch them, it just makes you feel so patriotic! Rachel has been taking a "flag/marching band" class this summer and they marched with the High School band in the parade. She has had a lot of fun learning to twirl the flags. She didn't love the 2 mile walk but did great! It was a bit on the warm side thus the red faces but they did a good job!
One of many cool cars....
Dippy the Dinosaur..you know for "Dinosaurland"
There is nothing like a small town 4th of July parade. Although a major part of it is the fire engines and police cars running their sirens there is still alot of candy throwing, water fighting and horses. After the parade we went home and relaxed then the whole family assembled at Aunt Linda's for a BBQ. Right as Clark was starting to cook the meat it started to pour down rain but it was just a brief storm and we were able to eat outside. Then the older cousins all piled into cars and went to the fireworks while the few younger ones....Jenna, Zach and Joe stayed and lit fireworks. We had a great view of many different places lighting off fireworks all over the valley. After we got home Spencer let Jenna light off a few fire crackers. She was in heaven. We did miss Brad however since he is such a firework nut but none the less. it was a fun day!
