There's nothing like a fourth of July celebration in Ashton, ID. First off we are so grateful for the amazing four fathers of our country. What a blessing it is to have the freedoms we do. Also many thanks to those who fight, fought and died to give us these freedoms. Again, THANK YOU!!
Andrew's parents, two sisters and our nephew came up to join in the festivities. We started our day watching the parade down main street. Mom was quite excited to see the cute old trucks. We even had a clown (Our dentist).
Our favorite scene of the parade was Andrew and his 11 year old scouts. They volunteered to walk behind the horses in the parade and scoop the poop. They did an excellent job!!
After the parade all of Ashton went to the city park. There were games, activities, food and the best entertainment ever. Andrew's dad is a musician and calls himself the Last Of The Troubadours. He was the headline event at the park and was a huge hit. He sold several CD's and even gave out a few autographs. If you're interested in any of his stuff check him out at his website. You can buy a CD, T-Shirt or just listen to his great music.
Kate, Margie & Andrew participated in the watermelon eating contest. Andrew won, I think we'll all have watermelons growing in our stomachs after the amount of seeds we ate but it was worth the fun we had. After the park we had a family BBQ at home and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
We finished the night with fireworks. It was so fun to cuddle and watch the sky fill with wonderful colors and sounds. It was a fantastic day!
Enjoy this fun live performance of Steve Walker - Last Of The Troubadours.
