Well, let me explain. Our dear friends live waaayy over in Byron Center. For many a year they have told us about about the parade, the fireworks, the fun. This year they invited us to join them.
After a well deserved teasing about having never introduced our children to the joys of the hometown parade we sat curbside and eagerly accepted all the candy, political propaganda and business plugs that were given us.

the gals
No, the fun does not stop there. Back home to the Dykstras for burgers and conversation while the kids ripsticked, track balled, and just had fun running in and out of the house.
The night ended with a spectacular fireworks show enjoyed by all but Juliet and Joy as evidenced by this photo--
Look closely at the girls trying to hide from the fireworks.
Joy was afraid she might get one in her eye!
Thank you Dykstras for inviting us and putting up with us all day long. I would say we are now your permanent Byron Days companions.
