This entry had everyone peddling to make it run.  Quite clever!

The Guymon Family had a reunion this year celebrating 100 years of living in Blanding, Utah.
Parade (21)
The Gadianton Band, aka the Francis Lyman Band the rest of the year.  This is my favorite band!  Uncle Joe tinkers and tinkers with this truck to get it going for the parade.  Evidently it was touch and go yesterday.  When it drove up to the high school Aunt Dutch said, “Oh, they must have got the truck running.”  YEA!!!

The Hurst Family has this cute train that they usually enter.

The ‘Bike’

We had lunch at Scot and Julene’s home.  Julene’s family is in town and so she was cooking for a crowd.  Two more really didn’t matter!  Actually, we ate there on Saturday and Sunday as well.  Thanks Julene for feeding us for the past three days!!!
The afternoon was spent, for Sidney, at the 4th of July Quilt show.  Then Mike came down for a quick tour.
Caroline, Mike and I watched fireworks from our driveway at home.  We had a GREAT view.  We heard all of the booms and bangs.  The only thing we missed was hearing the crowd going ‘oooh and aaaahhh’.
