3rd, 4th, 5th of JUly..................Party on

I don't know about you, but this year has been confusing as to when to celebrate... but here is a glimpse into our celebration.

Saturday the 3rd

Eden Breakfast

Eden Parade

Huntsville Parade

Ride north to Tremonton and beyond

Quiet night listening from afar to Fireworks

Sunday the 4th

Amazing RS, Sunday School Lessons and Testimony Meeting.......

all on "Gratitude" for Freedoms and Forefathers....

GO USA!!!

Monday the 5th

Hiking

Here are some PICS for the events:

EDEN BREAKFAST

Next it was the

EDEN PARADE:

The cousins line up [wake up Farrah]

Hey Where is LUKE?????

The "Spectators" [Armstrong's and Summers] wait with Baited Breath for the Event.

But don't blink those eyes!!!

Here is the 1st of the parade [Look close to see EMMA]

Emma is on the right with the flag on her bike and the cute sticker on her face.

Christian and Lindsey are almost out of the picture.

Only in Eden can we find 4 wheel Horses

Look close for the "Horse Heads"

Then of course there is the 5 minute break before the 2nd half of the parade arrives.

Farrah gets a little help from her friend Martin

Last year it was a "Wagon"....this year a tricycle pulled by Martin...

maybe next year a real bike with training wheels.

Farrah brings up the tail end of the parade.

The reward is..............

Popsicles!!!

And of course we can't leave out the Huntsville Parade:

Here are some of my favorite entries:

Big Foot!!

This is Dave Carver's entry and if you have not heard, there is a ....

BIG FOOT CONVENTION

JULY 26TH AT HUNTSVILLE PARK

complete with TEXAS PRIDE BARBECUE

MUSIC and BIG FOOT tales from right here

in the VALLEY.

Don't miss this EVENT

I doubt you will ever see the likes of it again.

Another favorite entry was the entry from

VALLEY HAIR....

....only in a local parade

and there was the

RIGHT TO 'BARE' ARMS FLOAT...

Get it....."bare" arms.....

My favorite "Family" float was the Froerer

DRAGON float complete with "Prince and Princess".

After the Parade we ventured over to the park where they had a

patriotic program and of course the refreshing

"Snow cones".

The one "oops" of the day was when we lost

Christian for a minute.

But that was just a minor set back to a wonderful day.

A Barbecue on Sunday completed our celebration.

I am grateful for Family and reasons to get together.

We missed Mac and Robin's Family's.

Happy 3rd, 4th, and 5th......

until we meet again.....
