Happy July 4th weekend! We had a marvelous time yesterday hosting a pre-parade brunch for about 25 people. The Bullfrog Loop parade is a slice of Americana, with homemade floats, decorated golf carts, parents, children, young and old participating.

All Things July 4th

We always look forward to being at our cabin for the July 4th holiday. It is much cooler in the mountains of Arizona and this area has a nice small town feel.
