Fourth of July

We headed straight to Snyder from Galveston. We all wanted to be in Snyder for the July 4th celebration in the park.  We got in Wednesday afternoon and headed to the carnival that evening. 

First stop the Dragon Roller Coaster. This is a favorite ride every year. After the big kids went a few times, Wade decided he wanted to ride too. 

He was good the first few times around, but got a little scared near the end. Those are not tears because he was sad the ride was over. I figured we had ruined his riding for the night with this ride.

The big kids on the Hang-Glider Ride.

This is Wade not wanting to hold Daddy's hand. This cracks me up because he looks just like Chris.

Oh look he did ride another ride!!

The Slide

The next morning was the parade in the park. Granddad Bob's blue Studebaker was in the shop, but his friend let him drive one of his Studebakers. Luke and Rachel rode in the car and threw out the candy.

I did not do very good getting pictures of the parade, but I always look for this guy each year. You never know what he will be driving.

Watching the parade and collecting candy....lots of candy!!

Wade enjoying some DOTS.

We had great seats for the fireworks this year. We watched from the park not far from where they light them. Wade was scared to death when the first one went off. He dove to the ground in a hurry. He spent the rest of the show in Memaw's lap.

Another fun Fourth of July in Snyder!! Next stop was Midland. We were all ready to get home after 8 days on the road.
