July 24Th is a big holiday in Utah. Its the day we celebrate the pioneers making their way across the country to Utah and then most importantly deciding to stay here. Dewey and I both had family that helped settle Utah. Its interesting history and worth celebrating. On Monday there were parades across the state. Our little town being rather small did the best they could.
The highlight in the parades was the firetrucks with their sirens blaring
The noise and largeness of the vehicles was a little much for Kolby, Luke however right out there waving.
Kolby perked up a little as soon as the candy was thrown. You can't miss out on the kid scramble for one piece of taffy.
You know you live in a small town when one of the "floats" is a Dutch oven band on hay bails. What you have never heard of such a thing?? Country living my friends, country living :)
We have yet to go to a parade when we don't run into kids the boys know. Which makes it all the more fun for them to watch with their friends.
Just a cute pic of Kolby thrown in cus come on look at that smile....
We had a great time enjoying the parade for what it was. It didn't try to be all uppity with uniforms, matching anything, or fancy floats. Nope just good small town fun.
And almost the best part this was all on Monday so a three day weekend WOOHOO
