Granville 4th of July

Granville puts on quite the show for July 4th!  They close down the main street and have a 3 day carnival uptown, a parade, and a great fireworks show.  We were headed to Perrysburg for most the 4th holiday but we decided to stay and enjoy the first day of the Granville fun!

We arrived uptown just as the rides and food trucks were opening.  Lucy couldn't believe her eyes!

The Merry-Go-Round was the first thing we found and Lucy was so excited!

We walked the main street to buy our wristband and check out the excitement.

The food was typical, AMAZING fair food.  Lucy was in heaven!

Eddie rocked out in the stroller most the day.  He wasn't too fond of the loud rides and it was approaching naptime.  He was a good sport!

While buying our ride wristband we ran into some friends.  The kids instantly joined hands and were off for some fun!  We are blessed to have such great friends.

First ride....DRAGON ROLLERCOASTER! We quickly realized this was a bad call, it was fast and very jerky.

Lucy was not a fan, but luckily was brave and willing to try the other rides.  "I don't want to ride the dragon again!"

The cars and motorcycles were much more fun!

It was a hot day, but we were happy the rain held off.  It was a very rainy July 4th in Ohio this year.

There wasn't a single ride Lucy wasn't willing to try.  Yes, that is Lucy on the far left. Can you spot her? Just smiling and waving for the HAPPY SWING ride!

We hope in future years to enjoy all the July 4th events Granville has to offer!  Happy 4th!
