4th of July in Show Low

Up here in the White Mountains, every community is its own, and yet, when holidays come around, we all travel and see the other towns parades/BBQs, etc. And July is full of them! For the 4th of July, Show Low has a pretty big parade, and we always meet up with the Pew side of the family for parade watching, and a picnic of sorts afterward. This year was no different.

Here we are watching the parade go by. Front: Nathan, Betsy, Emily. Back: David, Jay, and Aubrey.

It was pretty hot (low 90's) and the kids had a pretty good time. After the parade we met up over at Granddad Pews house and had a fun picnic. The older kids had fun swinging on his large weeping willows trees.

The top one is of Nathan, middle is Aubrey, and the bottom shot is Emily.

We had a great day, and the kids were worn out for sure. After all the festivities, we made our bi-weekly WalMart and bank trip. (The closest WalMart and Bank of America, to our house is 30 miles away, and conveniently in the town of Show Low.) The kids slept all the way home and all ended up with slight sunburns.... even with sunscreen and hats?!? It was a great day. We didn't make the trek back to Show Low that night for their fireworks display, but we did get to see them the next day, in Taylor. But I will save that for my next post.....
