Randolph's 4th of July Celebration

Randolph always has their Fourth of July celebration the Saturday before the 4th.  This had to be the HOTTEST Fourth of July celebration that I can remember! It was over 100 and there was just no breeze. However, this did not seem to bother the kids at all.  They enjoyed the parade with their cousins.  Then it was time for the pedal tractor pull.  This was what Isaac had been waiting for. He was a little disappointed that he didn't get a ribbon, but he did a great job!  After the pull we decided to get out of the heat and go eat at Nelson's Landing in Leonardville.  This was a great idea!  However, while there rain clouds moved in and fireworks at Randolph were cancelled for the night.  There was a break in the lightning and the kids were able to use their carnival tickets and ride a few rides.

Isabella's turn to pull.

Isabella had a full pull and received first place.  There were only two girls in her age division this year. 
I think the heat kept many away!

Isaac getting ready to pull.  He had a full pull the first time, but so didn't 4 other boys his age.  In the pull off he ended up in fourth place.  Of course this was a little disappointing to him.

Having fun on some rides!

Isabella didn't care either that she was getting wet.
