This is the gang who could make it to the parade. I decided that I wanted to save a spot for anyone who would be interested to view the parade from the shade and followed in Lori, Lisa, and Mark's footsteps from last year. I got down to main street at 4:30 a.m. and reserved the same spot as last year. There were already people gathering and I put out my camp chairs, read my book, and hung out until 7:00 a.m. (when chairs can "officially" be put out). I met a nice lady named Beth and we visited with another young man who had designed a float for his Stake. That made the time pass faster and Robert let me sleep in when I got home. Thanks Robert! What a fun parade and the kids loved it, which made all of it worth it. We will have to do it again next year!
Waiting for the first entrants of the parade to arrive....and the candy....
Zach being cooooooool. Don't you love the Powerade mustache?
Waving at the Shrek float by the Children's Miracle Network. Kids no longer waiting on blankets but getting ready for any candy being thrown.
Later that night, thanks to Tawnie saving spaces, we watched an incredible fireworks show with what ever family members could make it. Thanks Tawnie...it sure was worth it, huh?
John and Lisa family, the rest of the kids are somewhere running around.
Teresa and Elise.
Hannah, Zach, Elise, and Thomas.
Zach wanted to hold Samuel...that is the cutest smile on his face!
Nairn helping kids with the glow sticks that can be made into a ball....hence the next picture.
Awesome fireworks....my Sony camera does not do it justice!
Zach's favorite kind of fireworks because they are green.

Looks like a fun celebration. Why did they have it so many days before the 24th? We don't do much for the 24th up here in the community, but our ward is having a party on the 25th. Pirate theme! Go figure. Oh well, we'll see you all soon. Love you! Karey
