2nd Annual 3rd of July PARTY!!!

We had the 2nd Annual 3rd (or 4th) of July Party and kids parade.  Last year, about 15 kids showed up at the parade.  This year, there was ATLEAST 50 kids!!  They rode their decorated bikes, trikes, scooters, or strollers around the oval a few times. (Some kids made it around more then others, obviously)  That kicks off the evening of food and drinks and FIREWORKS!!  (alot of them are of the illegal sort, but I stay out of that.  The cops only came by twice--that we know of.)  Shane willingly walked Chloe home for the billionth time and came back with the "porn stash".  He and Troy both have one and neither one is very becoming!!  Then there's Taffy and Avery (Cael's little sister).  They are 3 weeks apart, Avery being older.  She and Cael live across the street.  Lots of people came to the party, some of them not even from our neighborhood.  It was a great party!!  Enough for now, I gotta get to bed.  I'm doing a Boy Scout 2 mile Fun Run in the morning.  Won't that be "FUN"??  Good night and Happy 4th of July!!  -AS

PS  I ran it today and got a 17 something for time.   That's a little more than 8 1/2 minute mile.  I was pretty happy with that!!  My mile on the first day of boot camp was 11:26 3 weeks ago.  I'LL TAKE IT!! : )
