We've made a tradition out of going to Star Valley for the 4th of July holiday. Our entire family loves it there! This year we had quite the party... besides our family, David's, Cathleen's, Brian's and Bethany's families were all there. A FULL house, but so very fun! The kids love the golf cart parade. This year Leroy bought a second golf cart, and also Carson brought his kid size 4 wheeler, so they had plenty of decorating to do! Lauren had put on her creativity hat a few weeks before, and with phone calls made to cousins, came up with a military theme and an under the sea theme. She was very busy making decorations for days! After the parade the carts are judged. The "under the sea" cart got "most original idea"!
They kept the crowd cool with water guns!
Carson sporting military attire!
Lined up for judging
Their prize? A blow up crocodile, Grace loved it!
The parade is followed by a carnival. The kids enjoy lots of games (tickets are won and redeemed at a very well
stocked prize table), and free cotton candy and popcorn!
Lexi, Brynn and Ellie ready to win more tickets!
We also got to celebrate Grandma Schenk's Birthday!
Lexi and Emma enjoying the pool on a hot day
In a family with mostly girl cousins, the boys have to stick together!
Games, games, and more games! The big ball, red rover, football frisbee and lots more! And of course (I didn't get a picture) but
they can never get enough of driving the golf carts
around, and around and around....!!
Time for makeovers
Hiking up the canyon. So beautiful!
More games! One of the favorites was "reverse charades"
Can't remember, but I'm sure the girls won!
Some of the kids were willing to wake up early
enough to participate in the local "kids k"
And of course, FIREWORKS!
And lots of sparklers!
Ready for the show
You don't watch fireworks in Star Valley in shorts and
t-shirts, you need to bundle up!
Another year of memories and fun!
