Celebrating!

 I truly hope that you had a wonderful day and continue to have a blessed weekend with lots of fun memories.

 We headed over to a small town for their local parade and festivities. We went in 2009, but hadn't been back. We really enjoy their day of fun!

Lots and lots of fire trucks, in part for the fun that follows the parade. Horses, and Oxen?

 This is an Oliver 550 tractor. You may not care. But this is a tractor I have driven a lot. Not recently, but growing up, it was our all around tractor.  So fun to see in the parade.

 AFTER the parade is the firefighter's water fight!  It is a soaking good time for all!

 We learned which departments have the best aim, so call those if your house is on fire. We also noticed which ones to call for the best eye candy.

Both boys were unable to stay awake for all the fun! Above, Doodle, 8 months, July 4th 2013, 
Below Kman 6 months, July 4th 2009.  That is a lot of excitement!

We headed back for the laser show. We were really excited to see just what a laser show is all about. However, a storm blew in and it was canceled right as it was supposed to start. Lots of disappointment, but we watched the fireworks on our drive home.

See ya next time!
