We had a blast for the 4th of July this year. We spent the weekend in good old Star Valley. We had floor to floor relatives staying at my parent's house just like our family reunions when I was a kid. Now My cousins' and I have our own kids and we're trying to keep the tradition alive. We didn't do much but spend time together as a family. There was a lot of food, late night card games, horseshoes in the backyard and lots of relaxation while the kids ran around. The holiday wouldn't be complete without a small town parade where candy is still thrown from the floats. My 96 yr. old Grandpa was the Grand Marshall and rode the route perched on the back of my mom's convertible. A day at the pool and dinner at the drive-in wrapped up the festivities and people started to trickle back to their homes. The most important thing to me is making memories for my kids like the ones I have from my childhood.

There's nothing like a small-town parade...especially in Wyoming. They're the best! Glad that you had a good time!
