It was a day of survival of the fittest. Humanity vs Monkey Juice. Isn't it funny how one will have the best of intentions, yet that's not what really happens? That was me on this 4th of July.
Intentions: Parade & BBQ in Laddonia, then head home around 2ish
Outcome: Monkey Juice (courtesy of Mitchell ) and drama for this mama
Only in Laddonia, Missouri can one create their own drunken parade of fun times. Cruisin' the ever-so-populated streets via a 1950 John Deere Model A tractor pulling a wagon of straw,monkey juice & "local color"...who knew that a simple trip to a fish fry (I love spoonbill...mmm mmm good) would lead to a memorable day for all. I sure as heck didn't, nor did any townspeople in the area! What a good time we all had.....heck, even the mayor's wife hopped on for a tour of the town. Then there was the drama from Mr. Mike Williams himself....of course my mouth had NOTHING to do with it, despite what my husband may say. I felt like Rodney King..."can't we all just get along?" But of course, whenever alcohol is involved, someone gets a little out of hand. It was a bittersweet ending to a fantastic day.....a memory (yes I remember, thank you very MUCH!) that will always be blamed on the Monkey Juice.
So remember folks, if Mitchell Montague is handing out drinks from a 5 gallon orange cooler...it is MONKEY JUICE....and be afraid, VERY afraid!!

Hmmm - we need some monkey juice for our next girlz night out!
Dang...I don't remember Mexico ever having Monkey Juice in parades, so apparently Laddonia is the place to be!
Well guys...Laddonia WAS the place to be. Who knew?! They had baseball games, dunking booths, frog jump, turtle races, sack racing...all kinds of good ole' fashion fun! And the fireworks were great--as usual!! Was a good time!!!
