I Love a Parade!

Our little neighborhood 4th of July parade and breakfast has become a fun tradition. Our great neighbor Bob Hobson lead the parade as Uncle Sam!

First timers and looking oh so cute, my nieces, great~nieces and great~nephew!

Tim never misses a chance to ride his scooter and be patriotic.

More neighbors in a very awesome carriage ~ Robinsons and Glades.

It is so fun for all the children and they love to throw candy. The are usually more people in the parade than parade watchers.

Our next door neighbors ~ the Nydegger clan.

After 40+ years, Judy Clayton can still twirl a baton! Impressive.

And what would a parade be without Bill Beifuss and Larry Carson riding their mules.

You certainly can't have a parade without patriotic ballerinas ~ Betty and Katie Wirig.

Our family enjoyed a fun BBQ later that day. I made these yummy coconut cupcakes and Tim made a batch of his famous strawberry ice cream. Yummmmy!

Mark conquered a big, juicy steak. Tiff documented the moment by placing a flag in the remains. I thought it was funny!

Summer fun!
