As it does every year, the 24th of July holiday came again. As usual, we respected the Balli Family tradition of sleeping at the parade. I say sleeping, however what we did could scarcely be termed sleeping. Through the mayhem and fun most of us managed a few hours. Gratefully, the police sitings were held to a minimum but the late night trip to 7-11 was larger than ever as most the cousins made the trek and fought the crowd at the popular junk food mecca.
Joe frequently runs one of the races but he was joined by many others this year. Joe, Lori, and Jana ran the 10k while Jaime, Maddie, Tim, Tyler, Brent, Jillian, Jenna, Josie, and Bentley ran the 5k. Everyone had a successful run. Perhaps we have started a new tradition.
The parade was good and the weather was relatively cool for late July. Now we are on to the most critical part of the day...the post-parade nap.
