HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

We went to Granite's parade in Utah, my mom lived there a few years growing up.
Grandma and Karlee painted Madeline, Ellie and their cousins, Allie and Miles faces so they could walk in the parade. people applauded as they walked by AND they got a Popsicle when they had finished. I LOVE small town parades!!
To the left is the church my mom went to when she lived here as a teen. And to the right is Miles, after the parade he took off his clothes grabed his candy and snuck out to the front porch! Later, when his mom (Julie) asked what he was doing naked on the front pourch he said "how'd you know??"
After the Parade we had a BBQ at grandma and grandpa's. After eating we all played a game of softball on thier rather small backyard. it was a blast!

Small town parades are totally the heart and soul of America. Especially Fourth of July ones.
