loved these shots...our little community has a great fireworks and fourth of july parade with the same flavor...it is SO MUCH better than going into a larger city to see them! Everyone is happy, everyone knows each other--everyone CARES about each other. It is priceless!

I don't blame Sean for running ~ I'm not overly fond of those clowns either:)

Dar said...

Tell Sean that even Andy ran from the clowns...Ben thought they were weird and Sy said they were just abnormal...kids do have their opinions on clowns....
Getting the GrandBoys together for the Frog Jumping Contest sure was fun tho, and Hot, so hot out.
Great to see you two weekends in a row....how we gonna do this if you move to Wyoming?, HuH?
Love that PupHug! Great memories.

Wow - you're quick to post the pictures!! Wonderful shots of the kids. Sean is keeping up a fine family tradition with the clowns. Steph would have decked them if she could have gotten close enough! I'm glad a lot of the cousins & 2nd cousins were able to get together. What is this about Wyoming?????

My hometown has the annual picnic simply dubbed "The Picnic." The town of 3,000 grows to about 70,000 for those three days.
