the Local Parade


We made our way down to the local "Pioneer Days" parade. Pulling our blanket and two chairs into an intersection has proven as the way to get prime seating these past two years. Quoting Matt, "it seems to get more painful each year" and the elbows thrown for candy were far worse this go around, but there still were some sweet moments that made this classic evening along Main.

1-The three situated on the blanket waiting for things to get rolling.


2- Paige unfailingly waving the flag from front position (while Meg ran to my lap during sirens and Tyler ran to Matt's lap for the candy stash).


3- Small hands placed over hearts as the flag was marched by.


4- The bagpipes! The bagpipes never fail to be my personal favorite (Made even better by Paige's hips that couldn't hold still when any band with a beat went past).


5- The Bountiful Tabernacle replica. "Mom, it's your old church!"
(We've been hearing of its construction by neighbors in my old ward and peeking at it parked across the street from my parents).
