Draper Days July '08

Our family loves a good party...and Draper Days is no exception. The parade route goes right in front of Grandma-Great's house. The whole extended Ballard clan watches the parade together. After, our family gathers in Grandma-Great's backyard for our annual brunch, the highlight being Grandma-Great's Swedish tea ring. Afterwards we visit, the kids play and swim and we finish up the day with Draper fireworks. It is a perfect "Pollyana" summer day! Ballard bunch Lemonade/Candy Stand...Every year the kids have a lemonade stand where they sell candy and raspberry lemonade for about half as much as it cost me to buy it!! They love it and the there are many satisfied customers. Sammy took it very seriously this year...he would hardly sit down during the parade! cooling off in the pool/ fun water fight! Draper Days Rodeo with the clan...

It sure was fun this year, wasn't it? Thanks for the great lemonade stand. Gracie sure felt proud spending her proceeds at This is the Place general store. She was able to buy a harmonica and some candy.
