I think next year, i will ditch the Freedom Festival in Provo and head over to Lewiston for an appropriate celebration of Independence.<BR/><BR/>And, seriously...I covet your aunt's dress-up collection. Where can I get me a set of flamenco spandex?Brandon and Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07018725341846325919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448168493312391639.post-13865927102045100942008-07-27T14:04:00.000-07:002008-07-27T14:04:00.000-07:00I've laughed so hard the four times I've come back...I've laughed so hard the four times I've come back and read this post. Hilarious! Was there any volleyball involved this year? I so missed being there but that may just put it over the top if I missed out on excellent Barlow volleyball as well.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707290321509200067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448168493312391639.post-21488061593743287822008-07-27T13:02:00.000-07:002008-07-27T13:02:00.000-07:00I love that your mom is from Lewiston.

There are two things however, you should mention to the city council as additional traditions. <BR/><BR/>1. A "Run for freedom" 5k<BR/><BR/>2. The fish grab:(picture a knee deep swimming pool, kids ages 2-12, and 100+ huge lake trout). Here is how it goes... The kids all circle around the pool, anxious as all get out, as the city dumps truckloads of trout in the pool. Over the megaphone, the announcer counts down 3..2..1.. GRAB!!! With every ounce of restrained energy and excitement, they all rush the pool and jump in (over half face plant it right away). The children proceede to catch as many fleeing fish as possible with their hands; Boys cheering in excitement and girls screaming in fear! The best part is when the kids, flailing fish in hand, run to their parents to show their prize. Without fail, the father says "Go show your mom, she will LOVE it"! I must say, it is my favorite tradition..you should try it sometime.Quinn and Lindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360375845010819986noreply@blogger.com
