4th of July 2009

What a cute bunch of Grandchildren!!! We found a little shade to take our first picture, just before the beginning of the 4th of July CHILDRENS PARADE in good ole Fillmore, Utah!!
Holding bike is Jayden, Mitch behind stroller, Kade w/baseball cap, Laury on scooter, Jordan in white shirt, in stroller Hallie and little Morgan. They had a very large crowd this year! Here we are the morning of the 4th of July! Getting the kids seated, and setting up the chairs for the best SMALL TOWN PARADE ever!! When the parade is over, everyone has a bag full of candy, frisbee's, water bottles etc.!! Paul was doing crowd control, and Nate was on Duty at the end of the parade.
After the Parade, we all headed to the Old State Building Park, that was filled w/eating booths of every kind of food imaginable! Oh my, the aroma was wonderful! They had a hudge covered area lined w/tables and chairs to eat on, right next to the stage where fun performances were going on all day. The park was filled w/blow ups for kids to play on, exhibits of crafts etc (my brother Ted and his son Mike, had a great display of Mikes Miniture Steam Locomotive train,
big enough to ride on, and Ted's train collectables. There was something for every age.

Here's Jayden just before going down the huge slide. Jayden did a big jump when starting down, and about bounced out of it!


Kade was anxious to get going down this big slide! He and Jayed had races to see who got up first!


This little train car holds little Lauryn and Jordan. They had a fun time riding around the block.




Here's little Morgan and Hallie by the engine. Morgan wanted to go again, and Hallie was just plain HOT!! They had waited in the long line for ever!





Oh, sad, but true....the famous DRILL TEAM, is no more....This group of men, from the 2nd Ward, have done the most hillarious routines for years! Looks like someone else needs to take over now!






Dang, it got dark too soon! Friday after the childrens parade, we drove out to the "Lace Curtains". This formation is out at the old Volcano's west of Fillmore. You have to see these formations to appreciate the beauty of the dripping Lava, as it cooled, after erupting! Click on the pictures to make them larger. Hope you can see the dark ones better.....







This is another view of the dripping Lava.






Jordan poising as he and Aunt Kim were making their way back down from the top. The kids had a ball playing in all the holes in the rocks. We're coming here again, when Karah, Mark and Bryton can come, and it will be during the day, so the pic's will be alot better!!! :)









Lauryn poising in front of a huge cave-like rock. She wasn't too happy about this rock, it scared her, she didn't want to get any closer!










Opps, put this one in twice!











Kim, Tyler and Kade, poising from way up on top! The ladies definately won't wear sandel again!









Kade, Jordan and Lauryn inside a huge carved out bolder! This must have been one gigantic eruption to throw this big boys!!!













Opps, doubles again!!! haha Dang, I forgot my camara when we went down into the Lava Tubes. So Charity, Nate & family and Karah, Mark & Bryton, get your climbing shoes ready for the next trip out here in a few weeks. So much to see in Millard County. My leg muscles will never be the same!!! haha
