My Aunt who passed away back in May lived along the Ralston, NE 4th of July parade route and every 4th of July was her chance to host the family for a wild party. This year, we gathered one last time before the house is sold to have a good time. Ralston is a suburb of Omaha.
Most years, the parade is nearly 2 hours long and draws 40,000 plus. This year, the rain kept people away and kept the parade to an hour:
Omaha Shriners:
My 8 year old son. The baby teeth are starting to drop like flies now :shock:
Doing sparklers with a neighbor boy. Sparklers are about the only legal "fireworks" you can have in Iowa :roll:
Double rainbow the evening of July 5th:
