4th of July in Menan

The 4th of July is Randall's favorite holiday. And if you've ever been the the 4th of July celebration in Menan, Idaho, you probably know why. This little community increases in size by at least 10 times every year for the celebration. They have a flag raising ceremony and breakfast, craft booths, games for the kids, and food vendors, softball tournament, parade, and firework show. Everyone seems to come home for the day to celebrate with family and friends. Several years have gone by since the last time we were able to attend, so we were really looking forward to spending the day in Menan. We all had a great time and were able to catch up with friends we haven't seen in years!

Unfortunately I was too busy enjoying the day and chasing kids around, so I didn't get very many pictures.



My dad was asked to drive his semi in the parade with the milk trailer--- they pass out chocolate milk (Randall's favorite beverage) to everyone at the parade. Cooper and my little sister rode in the truck with my dad and honked the horn at everyone.
Randall and Carson rode with Randall's dad in a brand new Chevrolet dealer pickup- they were driving around Maureah and the Jr. Miss girls; aka: the snow shack girls- because they all work at the snow cone shack :)
