JULY 4th CELEBRATION

Rog and I were sick on Tuesday through Thursday so we were really glad to get well before the family arrived for the 4th weekend. Phil & Julie and family arrived late Thursday night and early Friday morning they all went to the downtown Hutchfest parade. I wasn't there but I understand it didn't take first place in all the parades they had attended. Mostly cars, trucks, and tractors - very slim on the floats but the kids did get some candy that was tossed so all were happy. We grilled Friday night and the weather was beautiful so we could eat at the picnic tables in our backyard. We then prepared to enjoy some fireworks that Phil & Greg had gotten for the kids. We had already enjoyed them throughout the day as once in a while they would set off a few in the front driveway. Great grandpa & grandma Tucker were outside for the meal and and fireworks too. I think great grandma even had one piece land in her lap. We enjoyed our time together and when we were all finished in the backyard, we headed over toward the fairground to watch the big show of fireworks that they do at the fairgrounds each year. If you wonder about the picture of Trevin with the headgear, that is one way of silencing the loud bangs and Trevin has been pretty sick all week with a bad sinus infection so he wasn't up to much loud stuff.
