Canyon always has a big do for July 4th, and this year was no exception. There is a fair on the square, a parade, fireworks and activities in the park near us. We did most of it.
The parade started in a different place, east of town at the sports center and came to the square, so it seemed a long time coming while we waited on the curb. It was VERY long. There were floats, color guards, old cars, horses, fire trucks, and many other things to see. Susan caught some bubble gum. I'll add pictures from the parade.
We walked around the square and got free stuff--note pads, pens, pencils, necklaces, a rain gauge, candy, bookmarks. We bought water because we were hot and thirsty, but we didn't stay to eat; there were too many people. The crowd was estimated at 30,000 for the day.
About 8 Susan and I walked to the park near the house. She jumped on those big bouncy blow-up activities. I don't know was to call them. There was a castle, a surf board, and a big room. She really wanted to climb the rock wall and come down on the rapelling rope, but she was too small, thank goodness. My friend Jane and her 11-year-old grandson Xander joined us for the fireworks. He had a marshmallow gun made of PVC pipe that shot tiny marshmallow. We got home about 10 p.m. It was a very nice day, but Susan thought we had to do too much waiting.
