~ 4th Of July ~

Anyone who knows me knows that the 4th of July is my favorite holiday. I don't know why, but for me it tops Thanksgiving, Easter, and even Christmas.

This year Mike (hubby) and I spent the 4th with his mom and dad in El Paso, Tx. Pop is a retired marine and belongs to the 19th Rifle Company 1953-1962 USMCR. This year they were the Grand Marshall of the 4th of July parade in town.

Semper Fi.

Pedro Gomez (aka Pop) is on the far right.

Here comes the rest of the troops around the corner.

"Not As Mean, Not As Lean, But Still A Marine" I love it!

The whole group together.

Pop said the best part of the parade was the frozen watermelon waiting for him at the end.
