Quinn Wiggington did some awesome cowboy poetry for us.

Rick was threatening me till the day of the celebration that he wouldn't be there and that neither would the kids. They would be in Park City with or without me. I knew he was just trying to get out of the flag ceremony. He hates doing it. Just because he hates being in his uniform, sort of on display, but he does a really good job of it. I think it is most people's favorite part. This year before he marched the boys in we played Johnny Cash's rendition of The Ragged Old Flag, It definitely set the tone. Then they marched the flag in and our neighbor, Joelie Carroll sang our national anthem, (she sang it at the Olympics), it was really, really good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whmVGRSgAe8&feature=player_detailpage
Brooke obviously made more than one stop to the face painting booth.
Our Grand Marshall was Lightning McQueen
The first year we moved here Alicia said, "We should do something for the 4th like your old neighborhood did." I should have told her to take a flying leap, but I thought it would be fun. It is, but it is also a TON of work. 3 years later we are still carrying out the tradition. The neighborhood likes it enough that the HOA gave us $500 this year to help put it on. We bought a nice sound system with 2 microphones, horse shoes, ladder ball, a ring toss, Frisbee's, potato sacks, tattoo's, face paints, pin the beard on uncle Sam and fun prizes for the kids.
