It has become a tradition to go out to Menan for their 4th of July Celebration. It starts off with Rich and his brothers, Dad and brother in law playing in a 3 on 3 basketball tournament where they have taken 2nd place for the last few years.
After the basketball tournament we walk around the booths and let the kids play and get their face painted. We have a picnic lunch, run in foot races and finish off Menan Days with the parade. Ty learned very quickly to stand up and wave and be cute and the people on the floats would throw candy to him. He was loving it!

After the parade we went back to Grandpa and Grandma Madsen's house for a BBQ. The kids played in the water, the adults played badmitten and Lightning Reaction - a game my sister in law brought over that gives an electric shock to the loser. I will try to post some video, it is really funny. I got shocked 2 out of 3 games! I was not very good at it. :)
We let the boys pick out some fireworks. We got some good ones from a stand our Bishop's family was running. This firework the boys have is called Frog in a Blender - it was a pretty good one!
