Fun On the the Fourth 2016 edition

As summer comes to an end time sure seems to speed up! Ashlee called and told me it been a week since my last post and I couldn't believe it I could of sworn it had only been a day.

Duncan Az used to be know as "Biggest Parade in Small Town America" not sure if they still carry that title but we enjoy the parade no matter the size.  Sometimes it's a night parade sometimes a morning parade.  When it is a morning parade it adds an element of excitement as we have to travel the 45 miles and arrive before 8am when they close down the streets for the parade.  We have had some close shaves but so far we have always made it in time to join Pa saving our seats.
Election years which this year was means there is a lot of candy, and other handouts.

Here is our group watching the flag bearers go by

We usually bring out breakfast which this year was boiled eggs, bananas and donuts.

Egg-cellent smile
Zany loves boiled eggs!

McCoy dressed for speed this year and he was in beast mode as he collected candy!

Zany was more like one at a time when collecting candy

Given the chance Archy will shot anyone with his gun!

After the parade, there were carnival games for the kids.

While the kids played games others played cards

While others played Ashlee and I busted her brand new sewing machine she has had for three years without opening it.  I insisted we use it to alter some curtains for her dining room.

Only thing better than boiled eggs in Zany's book is Corn on the Cob!

We had another fun Fourth o' July!  Thanks to all those who sacrificed to make a day celebrating freedom and patriotism a yearly event we look forward too !
