Day 2

Happy 4th of July! The long awaiting "Day 2" has arrived.
Everyone loves a parade, right?

My Mom and I went at 10 pm the night before the parade to Main Street in Clearfield to claim our spot.
Most people had simply left blankets, quilts or chairs in the area they were saving. We had learned from past years that leaving a blanket overnight on the grass will lead to soaking wet bottoms the next morning due to sprinklers.
So my Mom with her pack-rat tendencies had some old lawnchairs that were merely the frames and nothing else, along with an old string hammack and some scotch tape. These lovely items we used to claim our spot.

You better believe no one else would even acknowledge, let alone steal our spot! I should have taken a picture of that, it was hilarious and just a little white trash-ish.

I don't know about the parades you've been to, but in Utah, they throw candy, and that is the BEST part about it!

Here are all the cousins together waiting for the fun to start.

From left to right, Baby Bryson, Karson, Porter, Aubree and Cami Jo.

My sisters, Mindi and Lindsay and I.

We had a hot dog roast at my parents house after the parade.

Karson insisted he roast my hot dog for me and he did an awesome job! Unlike the burnt hot dog my Dad had previously offered as edible.

We also went mini-golfing, but the only picture I got was the girls in the snack shop while the big boys hit balls at the driving range.

I do need to bring up the fact that both my Mom and Mindi had a hole in one and the men did not.

We sat in the front yard and watched fireworks from the next city over.

The kids loved the sparklers as usual.
