Last year we had such a great, old fashioned 4th of July up in Show Low that we decided to make it a tradition. We went to the parade in the morning. Steve and Beau were on their stake's float depicting a father and son fishing. The kids got into a game of cards with a couple of roughnecks.
Later that evening, we were invited to a little get together by some of Ann and Steve's neighbors, where there was homemade ice cream and a friendly game of horse shoes. We didn't make it to the fireworks at the high school this year.
Aidan had a ball pulling faces...
... pulling everyone's faces.
I really have no dignity posting this picture of myself, do I?
The following day we went up to Hawley Lake to fish for crawdads.
Avery caught herself a whopper!
How do you like the sweet fishing pole I made for Aidan? I thought ahead and brought some clothespins to help hold the bait, but who would've thought a wooden clothespin would float? I had to use a rock for a sinker. He had fun "casting" it into the water anyways.
Here are Aidan and Gracie waiting for a bite.
Aidan didn't dare touch a live crawdad, but he found this claw on the bank and thought he was pretty tough holding it.
Alright David, show him how it's done.
Success!
