Pioneer Day Parade

Palmer was determined to wear his cowboy clothes to bed the night before Pioneer Day. We asked him why he was wearing them and he said "Pioneer Day is tomorrow, and I don't want to be late!" So cute.

We brought games and snacks and breakfast to eat while we waited for the parade to start.

We bought the little boxes of cereal so the boys could pick which cereal they wanted to eat.

They thought it was fun.

And any event is more fun with treats...

We played Uno together.

McKay was so good and even took a nap in his carrier while we were waiting for the parade to begin.

Lincoln was the first to get Uno.

Hunter LOVES to have milk mustaches. In this case it is a yogurt mustache.

Can you see where Hunter is hiding?

The cowboy took a little nap.

President Uchtdorf was in the parade. We were all so thrilled to see him.

This was my favorite float. There were dozens of sparkly crickets on it. I couldn't believe how well done it was. It must have taken them forever.

A couple of weeks ago a lady came to our house selling stuff and asking for donations for this float. We gave her some money and she told me to look for the float that I helped to create. So everyone be proud of ME, ,I helped this come to be :) It was for "Mama's Gospel Choir" or something similar.

This was my second favorite float. It was "How to Train Your Dragon" and so well made. The people looked exactly like the show!

The announcer COULD NOT pronounce Liahona. We were sitting by a large section of Polynesians. They were ticked at her and yelled "IT'S LIAHONA!" I was right there with them.

The parade ended with a huge bunch of missionaries at the tail end. It was so neat.

It was definitely a great parade this year!
