found a great place in the sun!! Oh well, we found fun ways to stay cool....
Some of us took longer than others to get ready in the morning, like Kelsey. She was in the bathroom forever!! Finally she emerged disappointed that she had put her tattoo on her face backwards and it said ASU instead of USA. I held in my huge laugh because apparently this kid still hasn't figured out how a mirror image works!! Hello it's suppose to look backwards in the mirror!! Seriously folks I wonder how this girl gets straight A's sometimes!
Finally the parade started and it was perfect!! Some of our favorites: A really old firetruck with dalmatian in tow,
another favorite the army jeeps (although they didn't throw out little army men this year :(), 
and this was kind of funny this group painted as a flag that danced to patriotic music,
Sadi was in heaven with all the candy coming her way, she scooped it up and immediately shoved it in her mouth.
I'm not sure if my kids always have Disney on their mind because they were convinced some of the Disney characters also made an appearance. Like Sheriff from Cars,
and yup there he is folks Sadi was sure of it, It's Pinocchio!
This was not my favorite part. Quite a few cowboys thought the kids needed to be up close and personal with their horses and rode over to us so the kids could pet them. The first time this happened Sadi ran fast and far away, it was pretty funny. I couldn't blame her, I wanted to do the same. Those things are big!
After the parade we headed back home and unloaded the enormous mounds of candy they gathered. Seriously this is just Chase's loot, it looks like Halloween. (And by the way did anyone's parade throw miniature candy bars? Don't they know those things melt in the sun?)
Matt had to go to work so we met up later that night. We went and parked in the parking lot by his work. He was able to come out and sit with us for the show, and it was a good one!
The kids reactions this year were different than I expected. Chase covered his ears the entire time, 
and this one giggled her little butt off!!
Hope you all had a great holiday!!

Alright people the whole tattoo thing....well lets just say I totally regret letting those words come out of my mouth. I forgot to take that step back and just think for a minute. And of couse I know how the mirror image works,it just slipped my mind for a moment. I mean that would totally suck to have your tattoo on your face backwards. Anyway they both teased me ALL day long about it. But it its alright I say let them have their laughs now because someday it will be my turn to have the laugh. And no one will ever know my secret to getting straight A's....hahaha!!
You go girl, get those Straight A's. I will be laughing too, cause they sure didn't plan that one to well huh? eovL ouY yesleK
Looks like great fun for the 4th of July. I loved being in Virgina City the year we all visited.
