4TH OF JULY

For 32 Years our neighbors have hosted a fourth of July breakfast.

Every year it gets bigger and better!

No one misses the breakfast.

Children come back with their kids. 

It's fun to see everybody together celebrating our Independence.

 About 20 years ago we started a children's parade, which became a children's race. 

 Who could get from point A to point B the fastest. 

Well this year, my friend Pat and I decided to take the parade up a notch. 

Pat made banners.  I got some music, and we elected royalty. 

Got a convertable.  With the help of our friends we even came up with a name.
" The Lone Peak Liberty Days."
 Told the kids

it was no longer a race, it was a parade and off we went. 

 Bigger and better than ever!

 Royalty in place.  Of course the "Liberty Lovelies" weren't recognizable...

(we heard one little boy say "that sure doesn't look like your mom!"

 Of course, Carol, one of our "Lovelies" was fashionably late! 

 but it all worked out....

 She got on board and they were off.  Leading the grand parade!

And as you can see if was grand!  (notice all the spectators - upper right corner). 

Popcycles for all at the end of the route. 

People were enthused by the new additions,

A committee is all ready forming. 

It will be bigger and better next year. 

There will be a band! 

 I can see it now! 

 76 Trombones led the big parade! 

 Several cars of royalty! 
(everyone will want to be a Liberty Lovely)

We will start the elections in May! 

We might even get more than 6 people watching!!!
