Alpine days and 1st day of school

    Alpine's parade and rodeo were a good time. We have great neighbors/friends that let us crash in front of their house to watch the parade. The rodeo was a good time but only Charlie and her friend joined us, but the 4 youngest kids did spend a good portion of the day at the carnival and loved all the rides. And the fireworks show was spectacular and totally worth sitting in the rain to watch. We even got Tad and his family to join us for the fireworks and I think they would agree that it was a great fireworks display.

 

Greg was sporting a different style for the parade.

Cute baby Harley.

Beau wasn't too sure about the volume of the parade but she was happy about all the candy.

Greg and I splurged on some new bling at one of the booths set up for Alpine days.

    And then it was Sunday and ice cream night.

This is a little 'behind the scenes' of what we do to get ready for ice cream.

    And then it was school time!

First day of Carter's senior year.

Brock's first day of 9th grade.

    So there you have it, lots of fun things. Now on to our first full week of school.
