Provo Parades-July 5th 2010

Someday I will learn how to put my posts in order, but for now I am so behind on blogging, I just needed to get this up so I can blog about my California trip.
People from Provo camp out the night before for the parade to make sure they get a spot. We were not quite that dedicated, so Aaron (bless his heart) got up at 4:30am the morning of the parade and put blankets down to save our spot. Then he came back and we loaded the kids into the car and we all went down arriving 4 hours before it began. It was a LOT of fun and a great parade! Devan came in her wheelchair since she had just had her baby. She got a lot of nice waves from the different war vets with her wheelchair haha!
Reina laying on her infamous Dora Couch watching the parade. She had never been up so early in her life, and fell asleep so fast the second we got in the car when it was over. We all took naps that day.
Devans mom Kelley was in town. She is so much fun and she bought my kids these fun hats to watch the parade in.
Aaron, Preston, and Kelley watching the floats go by. You know you live in Ut when the parades have floats like Nephi singing Scripture Power and even the Provo missionaries are walking in the parade.
The kids laying down wondering why their parents insist on getting to the parade 4 hours early. Someday they will appreciate the things we do for their enjoyment right? Later that evening, Devans sister Hillary came to town and we had a picnic at Rock Canyon park and the kids did some ice blocking. It was a fun 4th of July weekend!
