4th of July at the Happy Day Parade

Since we are all done with wedding festivities, I decided it was time to get our blog updated. Our last post was announcing Melinda and Brandon's engagement last May. So here we are last 4th of July attending the Happy Day Parade with Blaine and Marissa's family.

Here we are expecting some hot sunny weather but instead we got overcast skies with cool temps (great for watching the parade).

There's no shortage of tractors at our parade.

A new style of float--the gurney.

The local police were patrolling in style.

Lots of beautiful horses were being ridden by people of all ages.

A float advertising "Showtime at Shute"--the 7 week concert series that Jim Band puts on from July to August.

One of the local baby models for the Gap.

Some cool folks hanging out at the parade.

Brady is pretty excited about all the action.

Shopping carts were a new attraction.

One of our favorite skateboarding beagles.

Here we are eagerly waiting for the candy to come our way.

After we got home from the parade, there were important things to do like smell the huge blue blossoms on our hydrangea bushes.

While Dave and Blaine were working on our waterfall plumbing, Miley and her Grammy were pulling weeds and cleaning some windows.

Brady dancing with lots of expression.
