Fourth of July in Ashton

This year the Fourth of July was spent in Ashton, ID, the cute town in which we reside. We were very fortunate to have the Chapman's come visit for the entire day. We first went to the parade. The fun of this parade is that you get to see it twice. It goes down Main Street and then it comes back down, so you can see it again! We collected much candy and got two free shirts from Frostop restaurant.
After the parade we made a pit stop at the Davis's garage sale and then to the City Park. We didn't spend much time at either place because we all had BBQ on our mind!! Andrew made some scrumptious hamburgers, hot dogs, and even grilled pineapple! It was a feast to be had. We all enjoyed the grub...potato salad, watermelon, chips, cookies and so forth, then headed inside.
It is a Uminski tradition to watch 1776 on the 4th of July. We tried to watch in on Netflix Watch Instantly, but our internet was too slow. It is okay, I at least got to hear my favorite songs, Lee, Sit Down John, and Mr. Adams. I don't know if they are the real name of the songs, but anything will do!

After the movie we played some fun games. Andrew and I have a new game, Curses, which we love! It was so much fun to play with the Chapman's. We also played Pitureka. It is also another really fun game.

We filled the remainder of the afternoon with outside games and singing in the Living Room and other fun things.

Finally it was time to go to the fireworks. We were all impressed with the show that Ashton put on. We throughly enjoyed watching the great fireworks. It was a great way to end the day. You know..I haven't had the chance to celebrate too many fourth of Julys the last six years and it was so nice to enjoy this one. Last year we were in Pfluergerville, this year we were in Ashton. Both of which were AWESOME days in our lives. It is just such a fun day to spend with family and friend. We loved having the Chapman's over and wished that they lived across the street from us!
