Happy Independence Day!
This is our family entry in the Leighton Parade, held on July 3 in beautiful downtown Leighton! You see Dennis on the 4 wheeler, pulling a trailer with all our grands...Scott and I are walking beside, to "catch" any early exits from the parade entry! Everyone managed to man their station, even our ever on the move 1 year old, Henry, and our two youngest, Jessa, 7 months, and Georgia, 5 months who were secured in their Bumbo seats at the back of the "float".









Our theme was based on a commercial
Noah did when we worked at KCWN..
you may remember hearing it? If you need a new kitchen, call my Papa! We had a ton of fun making the float and tossing candy to a waiting crowd! Even the few rain drops didn't seem to bother us!

Perhaps the hardest part was for me, keeping up with the trailer full of our babies as it sped back to the shop!

So my friends, Happy 4th of July to you all, may you celebrate our rich heritage of Freedom with family and friends in a truly American way!

If you missed the Leighton parade, there will be more of our family in Sully today! Jodi, Colby and Grandpa Ed will represent 3 generations of students from Sully Christian School in the parade there, and I understand there will be plenty of good food available in Sully today!

You just have to HEAR an old John Deere to get the real experience. This is my dad on his John Deere!
