Amanda, Chad, Peyton, Garrison, and Apollo arrived in Clinton Friday evening for Olde Glory Days. Saturday morning, we all headed to the annual parade - Peyton doesn't like the noisy entries, but she loves the candy! Garrison was not that thrilled this year. It was very HOT. We enjoyed visiting with lots of friends and seeing Grandpa driving the Hawthorn Bank entry. Great Grandma Mintun joined us after the parade for lunch and an afternoon of cooling down and naps while the guys played golf. That evening, we headed back to the square for Elk's tenderloins, Keck Root Beer, riding the ponies - which Peyton really, really enjoyed and rode this year some without Grandpa walking along - and some delicious frozen yogurt at Half-Pint's. Garrison and his parents headed home as it was his bedtime, so Grammy and Grandpa had the pleasure of staying with Peyton for carnival rides. After riding the carousel, train and motorcycles and enjoying watching the bucking bull rides, we headed home at which time I asked her, "Peyton, did you enjoy the carnival?" to which she answered, "what's a carnival Grammy?" LOL
Sunday morning, Ron, Chad, Amanda and Peyton played golf - Peyton only played 3 holes before coming back home to play with Grammaw, Grammy and Garrison for the remainder of the morning. Grammy grilled ribs for lunch which we all enjoyed. Grammaw had made chocolate pudding. After naps, the Siegers joined us for homemade ice cream and blackberry cobbler.
On Monday morning, the Todds headed to the lake to visit with Chad's parents until Tuesday evenign when they returned for the 4th of July. Ron and Chad played golf with Ron's buddies that morning. Grammaw joined the rest of us for play outside with bubbles and pop-its and then a taco salad lunch.
Great 4th of July celebration few days.
