I love parades. And I LOVE Provo's fourth of July parade. Fortunately for us we hooked up with the Ashtons for the perfect parade set up. We drove to the Ashton's home and then to their friend's house, one block from the parade. There was no traffic at all and when we arrived Gary had a tent and chairs all set up for us. Annette made some delicious cookies and the kids were so happy with cousins.
I say it was our last parade because I don't think Aaron wants to go back again. The space between the floats made it a little long, but still enjoyable. We left a little early so we ended up missing all traffic entirely. Our favorite ones were the missionaries, Jimmer, and Studio C. And then the song God Bless the USA always tugs at my heart. What a blessed country!
Once we got home the Nadaulds had just finished the annual triathlon. We played and and swam some more and then had a tasty barbecue. We were going to head up to Midway for fireworks but we had so much fun last night at our outdoor movie night that we felt a repeat was needed. We watched Here Comes the Boom with the same concession stand. After the movie we put all the kids to bed who fell asleep (everyone but Cameron who napped for four hours today) and then we gathered around the fire with the adults for some serious entertainment. I love just sitting and chatting with all the family.
