Stefanie and Erin were still in town and wanted to spend the 24th of July at Grandma Shirley's. They wanted their kids to learn about the fun tradition we used to do with their mommy's when they were little. Grandma Shirley told them all about it. Then they played games, danced, and watched fireworks. It was fun to see these little ones. They are all so cute and so sweet. I am glad I got to spend time with them too.
The TRADITION that we used to do when the kids were little was sleeping over Grandma Shirley's and staying up all night talking and laughing with cousins and of course me. I was the only aunt that would spend the night with them. Then we would wake up really early in the morning and me and Grandma would haul out tons of food and games to play with the kids while we waited for the DAYS OF '47 PARADE AT LIBERTY PARK. The kids would eat and play and since we sat by the end of the PARADE, we would look down and the kids would be sound asleep when the PARADE finally made it to us! We would wake them up and they enjoyed all of the big FLOATS. Afterwards, we'd go to RANCHO LANES and we'd BOWL, eat HOT DOGS and DRINKS for .47 cents each! Later that evening their parents would join us and we'd have a BARBECUE at Grandma's. Those were FUN MEMORIES!
