We had a great fourth of July weekend. We started our weekend with a friend for dinner and visiting on Friday night. Then Saturday the boys went to the water park for the afternoon. On Sunday evening we enjoyed the Fireworks. Monday we went to a near by community for the parade and then to a church members home for a get together. Here are a few pics from the weekend.
There were lots and lots of tractors in the parade. We are in the Midwest - home of corn, soybeans, and John Deere tractors.
This was probably one of the best entries in the parade. There was a total of five trucks bearing over 200 flags total. Each flag represented on person who died during military service (all war veterans from each major conflict), They were persons who were members of the surrounding communities.
This is an old fashioned threshing machine - including an invitation to a threshing bee next week - anyone want to come? :)
If threshing doesn't appeal to you then you can always participate in "cow pie" bingo. Basically waiting for the cow to poop and hope he poops nearest your number!! NO FOOLING - any takers?? :)
And we mustn't forget the old time horse drawn Hearst (say that ten time fast).
The parade was fun at any rate and the boys made a haul in candy. We capped the weekend off with a few sparklers Monday night.
Hope you all had a Happy Fourth!!!
