24th of July

For the 24th of July, Dustin's mom's side had a family reunion. And where better to gather the troops than Bancroft? :) It was actually tons of fun being able to see everyone and let the kids play. Here's everyone enjoying the parade. Some of those not used to how things are done in Bancroft were slightly amused by the parade. You not only get tons of candy, but the parade goes down the street one way, then turns around a comes back again.
Noah definately got the idea of the parade. He was loving getting the candy. Start 'em young, right?
I don't think Macie even lasted through the first pass of the parade. It was SO hot, and she doesn't do hot. She decided to sit in out in the shade.
This picture doesn't REALLY do justice, but a lot of the kids wanted to go see the train drive by, just down the street, so a group piled in the back of the truck and off they went.
We had to have some water for the kids to play in.
Don't you just love this little smile??!!Here are a bunch of the cousins (second cousins I guess) bundled up watching a movie on the side of the house.
The boys inside playing cars. It was so cute seeing them all hang out and be boys.
Saturday morning, Celeste drove up from Pocatello, and her, Skyler, and I ran the 5K! I'm so proud of us. This is definately going to have to be a tradition. Year one under our belts. We will have to do some heavy recruiting for next year! And yes, I look VERY happy in this picture. I was glad to be done. :) We technically don't know our time because the man taking time wasn't there. His stopwatch had stopped working just before we got in. Darn. High tech, these people. :) Love small towns, right?
Beautiful Bancroft sunset.

Sunday, on our way home, we went to Soda to visit my dad and stopped by the cemetery.
We had such a great time with family and being able to spend time together. We were with lots of family that we don't get to see very often, so it was a total blast. Hopefully we all will get together again soon.

Way to Go on your 5K! Stop saying that you don't know what your time was and just make up a time! So, I'm so impressed that you finished in 19 minutes!!! That's amazing!
Also, love everyone piled in the truck! Oh, the illegal perks of living in a small town!

Hope - by chance I looked at your blog this evening and see that you were in Bancroft on the 24th. What a coincidence - we were at Lava Hot Springs!! We saw the parade there that went up the street and back down!! I had never heard of that. You and Dustin have a CUTE family! Hope Dustin is enjoying his new job!
