4th of July

Craig loves the 4th of July, I think even better than Christmas(Okay it's a close tie.) Our neighborhood does a parade each year, and every year Craig makes a float, yes a real live float. All the other neighbors just decorate bikes, but the Homers make a float. Craig and the boys always ask if I would like to be on it, but someone in the neighborhood has to sit and cheer. The fire department leads the parade with a fire engine and Craig closes the parade with his float. We then meet at the end of a cul-de-sac and have hot dogs, tours of the fire engine, snow cones, bouncy bounces, and just fun with the neighbors. It's not the Provo parade with great seats in front of Uncle Bills shop, but it is a great tradition.







Craig even helped some neighbor kids decorate their scooters for the parade. What a nice guy.


Declan on the bouncy bounce and party fun.

It is me again. If you have not enlarged the pictures, at least do the one of Craig with the "wig" on. It's a classic!!
