Mendon's 24th of July Celebration

Mendon has an awesome 24th of July Celebration. We started the day with a Day Break Scramble. Justin ran the 10K. He came in 4th place in Men's under 18.

Then we went to an all you can eat pancake breakfast. Not long after Brecken ran the kids mile. He came in 2nd place in boys.

Next they had the animal chases. Laila and Ayva chased the chickens and the rabbits.

Brecken chased the chickens, rabbits and the pigs.

Next we had our parade. The youth council had their traditional float. They had over 2000 water balloons that they threw. I was lucky that by the time they got to me they were out of balloons!

Next came the Great Race. Todd and Shonee started if off dancing the Virginia Reel.

Justin was one of the watermellon eaters in the race. Tyson was supposed to be in the dunking booth but had to get a substitute because of his arm. Our team moved up and tied for 3rd place. We are usually last! After the Great Race was the hose down. It would make for some great pictures but nobody wants to risk their cameras. The fire department opens up their hoses and everyone plays in the water. It is strong enough to knock you right over! They also have a hose that is spraying foam. It is my favorite part.

Jessi left just after the hose down and went to a Secondhand Serenade Concert.

Brecken and Shonee enjoyed the inflatables. Somewhere out there in one of the inflatables is Breckens glasses. We never did find the

The day ended with an awesome fireworks display.
