Happy Pioneer Day 2009

This 24th of July was so fun. We went to the Spanish Fork Parade for the first time (and probably the last)! It was SO LONG! I've never been to a parade that lasted for 1and 1/2 hours! The entries were super, but Maddux lost interest about 30 minutes into it. The weather was so nice. It was the only time I wasn't cursing that dreaded canyon wind. I was having flashbacks of recess duty in April wearing my winter coat because of that stupid wind! We sat on Center Street by Park School, which made me a little sad knowing I no longer had any ties to "my" school. I guess my teacher phase of life if over for a while! Here are a few hi lights.

Bones and Maddux ready for the parade. (Thanks Bones for being a parade trooper. I know how you hate them!)
Grandpa Gordy, Grandma Becky, and Swayzee. Glad you were there!

Cousins! Swayzee and Lucy having their first (of millions!) Kodak moments.

Maddux and Grandpa Gordy. Aren't they handsome?!
