24th of July Parade

 Took the kids to their 1st parade for the 24th of July! (except for the super small one in Elk Ridge the week before the 4th...) It was 2 long hours in the sun, but we still had a great time and enjoyed the energetic feel of celebrating the pioneers

 The cops were a little loud with the sirens. Lyla held her ears, Mac just looked around as if nothing was even going on, haha

 

 Bet you never had a celebrity like Henry B Eyring at your parade before! The highlights of going to a parade in Utah: an apostle can just show up cruising down the street. Although my thought of taking a picture of him was very last second and you can't even see him since his body guard is in the way. But really, he's in there, and was cool to see him and his wife in the parade

 Shelly and Miles joined us too while Benjamin took the bar that morning

 My favorite float and part of the parade: the Polynesian Cultural Center from Hawaii! They were all dressed up and had loud Hawaiian music and dancing down the street. It made me want to go back to Hawaii SOOO bad. Lyla is already dancing before the float got to us
