For the past 3 or 4 years we have gone out to the small community of Blue Diamond to celebrate the 4th of July. They have a parade, games, snow cones, face painting, and an exhibition swim meet. The parade is always interesting. The kids decorate their bikes and ride along in it. I remember one year Palmer cried the whole way because he thought that the fire truck was going to run over him. This year Heber kept saying, "watch out for the cars!", and "There's Santa! Santa's in the parade!" (There was a man with a big white beard riding his bike behind us.) My boys seemed to forget which holiday it was when they got their faces painted. They were the only monsters at the celebration.

I love all the painted faces! I bet Blue Diamond gives a really good time for the 4th!
