Mark decided at the last minute to join us for the Williams 4th of July annual town celebration. It is a little like
Ground hog day where it seems like you are reliving the same day over again and
again. Very little changes. We found my parents and DeDeckers who sit in the
exact same location in front of the post office year after year. We watch the parade for about
an hour seeing the same trucks, tractors, floats and people in the parade. Then
we go to the park for lunch. Jacob very excitedly got to drive the Ranger for Grandpa in the parade. Grandpa leads the legion in the parade.
The weather was amazing so that meant big crowds of people. The park too, you see the same people year after year. Mindy and Jessica were my only classmates there this year. Luke and Mindy’s son Brody went on some rides together. The park rides are the train and the giant jumping moon pillow. Same rides as when I was a kid. Megan, Santanna, and Jayden worked in the snow cone stand most of the day. It has become a tradition for them and they really enjoy it. Mark took the boys to the Car Museum then for ice cream. I visitied with lots of Williams people and watched the princess program. Alivia rode in the parade and was in the Little Princess program. She even sang along to the "Frozen" song. The plan was to head home, but after talking we all wanted to stay. It was a very unusual nice weather day. We didn’t want to head home on such an amazing day. Alice, Jayden, Luke and I had ice cream at the cute little ice cream shop. Next we went back to my parents and had burgers with Deckers and family. We stayed until dark, then went near Williams, parked on the gravel road and watched fireworks. Luke has only seen fireworks at Disenyworld and I figured out the last time we stayed to watch fireworks was 11 years ago at my class reunion. The fireworks were neat to see. Jake & Dad sat in front of the car in lawn chairs. It was 67 degrees out .
