We were in St. George on the 4th of July. We went to the earlymorning breakfast and the parade and all the festivities at the
park and the fireworks that night....FUN!
We were sitting right where the temple was the back groundfor all my pictures, loved that!
Camels? Well we do live in a desert and it was a nice hot day!
Waiting for the parade to start, yes he makes a good pillow!
Yay for the awesome fire fighters, they have had so many fires to fight this summer in Utah!
HAPPY 4TH AMERICA...WE LOVE YOU!
I love all the old trucks...
and red cars!
I won 4 tickets to go see a play at Tuachan...so excited!
The thing about parades that I love the most? The kids!
This guy caught my attention...or at least his bird did!!! Pretty cool.
On to the park where they had, can you guess?A watermelon seed spitting contest, great fun!
The park was full of people and children...they had a100 foot water slide going on the kids who LOVED it!
I found some darling material...
at a thrift store in the form of Mini-skirts, and since I don'twear those, I thought I would make them into this....
Two little pillows for my front porch!They turned out cute, love them!
Found this little one at a thrift store too...so cute!
Oh, and I found the grasses in the basket at that samethrift store too! So cheap to get the porch looking cute!
Our little St. George Cottage...we are really loving it! Stillhoping and praying for a buyer for our main home so we can
get fully moved here.
The fire works were shorter this year but awesome!
Loved every minute of it!
The city had them being set off from 3 different places...it was so beautiful over the temple too.
When we got home, I open the door to the back deck to find...
Mrs. Hen...she had taken over my basket of flowers on the back deck,for her roost! She said that she was just guarding the place...sure!
We have had some gorgeous sunsets lately...
See...I told you...gorgeous!
Then on the weekend, our local town held a 4th of Julycelebration. That is our little grandson Kelton sliding
across the canal.
This is my husbands brother Newell. He was in the parade because...
He is running for county commissioner...I love his old red beauty!I hope he wins because he is a great guy who could do a lot for
this county!
Our grand daughter Ronnie is a cheerleader and they werein the parade too.
Way to go cute Ronnie...she is the tiniest, so guess who gets to be the one they throw in the air!
Loved this darling team of tiny horses...
We were parked right by the canal, I think that was Cougar 'sfavorite part of the whole parade!
Well, that it from me...3 posts!
Hope you enjoyed them.
If you don't hear from me for awhile,
I know, that you know, where I have gone!
LOVE YOU ALL
JULIE

What a wonderful 4th of July. It is just great that you can spend time with you family and have such hands on with the kids. By the way, I forgot to mention on my last comment that I am thrilled you are having a new grandson. Our son had a baby boy about a month ago. They waited/tried for a long time so we are all thrilled. xo Diana

Looks like wonderful family times, as usual! That is so cute how you made pillows out of those mini skirts. Great idea and they look so cute on your porch.
Congratulations on grand-baby #23! I am looking forward to getting grand-baby #3 around Christmas. I've been busy knitting hats and a crocheting a blanket.
I too love those old cars. They had such style!
Hope you continue to enjoy your summer! I'm sure you have many more fun times ahead. :0)
