4th of July Parade

Each year we go to the 4th of July Parade in Provo. The kids had so much fun this year. We had our friend Shauna come with us with her kids Joseph and Caijsa and the kids loved having friends there with them. I just love going to the parade and seeing so much Red, White and Blue and looking around and seeing everyone have so much respect and pride for this great country that we live in. I definitely don't think we have enough holidays like the 4th to celebrate this great country.

A few things I love about the parade, when the flag comes down the road and everyone stands and puts their hand on their heart. When anything in the parade represents the army, navy, Vietnam vets, etc. I love hearing all the applause they give these brave men and women.

My children would not take a normal picture. Parks kept closing his eyes and laughing and they kept sticking their tongues out or their laffy taffys out of their mouths. Silly kids.

Maddie (not shown), Brooke and my sis Lindsey spent the night on University to keep our spot. Thanks Girls!

Caijsa and Parker looked so cute in their patriotic shirts and visors.
Joseph and Hannah just kicked back. Joseph didn't move from this seat pretty much the entire parade. He danced to all the music and had a great time. Hannah was so excited he was there.

This year we had a great time, only a few strange things occurred. An old man making himself right at home with us and breathing down mine and Shaunas neck. The couple making out on our blanket. We had no idea who they were. A lady who invaded our spot as well and kept asking me for drinks and candy. Oh and who can forget the woman whose shirt kept falling down every 5 seconds. But hey, it kept us entertained!

We can't wait to see what next years parade brings. :) We hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
