Fourth of July Festivities

As is custom in the Dudley house hold, our 4th of July weekend was spent working for the Riverton City Recreation Department.  We scooped poop in the city parade, helped with Movie in the Park (we showed Monsters VS Aliens this year), helped mom and Rodney put on another fantastic race, and made snow cones and cotton candy for the rest of our Saturday.

Here we are working the finish line for Saturday's race!

Monday was spent with the Johnsons!  We went to a parade with Sharon, Annette, Cambrie and McKenzie.  I believe this was Cambrie's first parade with candy being thrown, so Alan helped her catch the candy.  It was rather enjoyable.

 McKenzie Looked Adorable in her patriotic outfit.

Annette is such a good mom. 

 Cambrie loved all of the royalty floats.

 Bethany is a pro-candy-picker-upper!

 Even though Tate was smaller than the other cousins, he did a good job with catching candy.

 My attempts to join in with the candy fun.

 There are the nieces enjoying their winnings.

After the parade we met up with the Stratford clan at their cabin!  I finally played a whole game of pinochle on my own...well, with some coaching.  We went for a short "hike" to the stream and enjoyed being with family.

 Here is our stream.

Here is a rock in our stream.

Here is our team of adventurers.

And this is an accidental shot of Matthew that Alan liked.

On the way home Sharon treated us to Farr Ice Cream!  The creamer was built in 1920, if I remember correctly, and is cute as can be!

Happy Holidays!
