Ojai 4th of July Parade w/ Family

Posted by lenleatherwood on

Here are photos of the 4th of July parade in Ojai, which we attended today with Liz, Ron, Ethan, Ray, my nephew Jim and his wife Karri. This is a wonderful down-home parade where townspeople put their chairs out up and down the main parade route a week before. There were lots of floats today and music, horses, and even goats. Of course, Ethan played a big role as well, at least among the family.

Happy 4th to all.

Liz, Ron, and Ethan
