How glad we are that Camille and her family are back home! Over the Fourth of July, the Eberts joined us for the Oakley Rodeo on July 3, 2014, and then for the Oakley Parade the next morning.
Camille and I agreed that the Oakley Parade is just perfect. It lasts only one hour, yet has horses, queens, politicians, marching bands, floats, and clowns--all the essentials of a parade. You can come late and still get a front row seat. The politicians throw candy.
We enjoyed watching the Oakley rodeo queens prance into the rodeo grounds last night. Today it was fun to see those beautiful girls up close, as well as a selection of rodeo queens from around the state.
Camille and Dave bought drinks at the Oakley grocery store, while the rest of us watched the floats and marching bands.
Some of the best sights at any parade are the bystanders.
This guy was really patriotic.
The Eberts wore red white and blue to celebrate the Fourth.
Mia and Ezra filled bags full of the candy and gum that were thrown to them.
Jono was a good sport, in the 100 degree summer heat.
After the parade, we spent a few hours at our nearby cabin, eating "Grandpa's Famous Hamburgers" and just talking.
