Small town celebration = LOTS OF FUN!!

The 4th of July in Salina is something we all look forward to. To start the day off we are woke by dynamite being let off. This year they chose to let it off right in FRONT OF OUR HOUSE!!! I thought Ryan had fallen out of bed. It was so loud, but so exciting. That's our alarm clock for the day!!! Then it's off to breakfast at the park. After that we buy tickets and see how many prizes we can win. We ended up with two fish this year which Warner named them both Nemo and as of today one is still alive!!! After games it's time for the races!!! On your mark get set and GO!! Warner racing to the end for his quarter!
Ryan and Lynzie running in the brother/sister race. I think they actually won!!

Then of course what would the day be if you didn't go for a ride in the fire truck!! Emree and Warner anticipating their ride!! Warner enjoyed honking the horn the entire time!

Then it's off to the swimming pool to dive for money!


After lunch and a little cat nap and then it's time to hit the parade, and enjoy salt water taffy and otter pops!!

There are plenty of tractors and big trucks to be seen!

Did I mention all the candy you get at the parade??
After the parade it's time to freshen up for the Rodeo with fun clowns, exciting bull riding, eating hamburgers on the dirt hill. And then lights out for the AMAZING fireworks. We love the 4th of July in Salina!!
