🎆 Corbett 4th of July Parade 🎆

What a fun day we had yesterday.  Each 4th of July our little community puts on a pretty wonderful parade.  They also have a fun festival on the school grounds and a fireworks display as soon as it's dark enough to start.  We only have to drive a quarter of a mile to the top of our country road where we put our folding chairs and enjoy the parade.  First up is the local volunteer Fire Department and their new firetruck.

The car clubs are at the beginning.. imagine our surprise to see my sister and BIL in their blue Mustang going by.  They hadn't told us they were coming so I wasn't ready to take a photo so I quickly snapped this shot.

This was our view between floats.. cows in a pasture.  LOL!

Lots of vintage cars are in the parade.. we know this lady and it's her daily driver.  It's fun to see on the road.

The following photos don't need explanation.. just horses, tractors, kids, home-made floats... enjoy.

We were pleased to see that our newish neighbors were next to us and we visited with them and met their adorable 3 little towheaded children.  That was neat.

This cute little pony went by.

Our little neighbor girl was very proud of how much candy she caught from the passing floats and trucks.

  
I was happy to see a float for the 4-H clubs of Corbett.  I was the Dairy Goat 4-H leader for 5 years.   All 3 of my children showed their registered Nubian dairy goats at the county fairs.

Our fire department trucks start the parade and also bring up the rear.  When you see them you know the parade is over.

These are the guys that will save our house if we have a fire so we shouted our thanks to them.   

In 5 minutes we were home and relaxing on the deck while Dayle BBQ'ed some T-Bone steaks on the pellet grill.  My sister Denise and her son Kevin joined us for the parade and BBQ afterwards and then Kristi and our 2 grandsons joined us when they brought us a ton of wood pellets for our pellet stove in the family room.  The 3 of them also unloaded them into the barn.  Then we all enjoyed grilled steak, Denise made a potato salad and we had baked beans.  Twas good!  This is not a glossy magazine/styled photo, but I should have removed the rolls of paper towels!  LOL!

Today.. we're resting up.  It's been a busy schedule for us for several weeks.  Time to take off the red, white and blue tablecloth and put on a summery one.   I'm going to do some tidying in the house and on the deck.  I hope you're enjoying your July!!  ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
