So, we went to a city parade and had a lot of fun. I met a woman who adopted a child from my home town in Florida...how random is that? She was super nice and let the kids sit on her tarp (right on the curb) so they could see better.
Belle really liked the free flags they gave out. She even stole one... We gave it back and the little girl's mom gave Belle a smaller one that she could handle better. She had a lot of fun waving it around.
Since the parade took place near an Air Force base, we got to have planes fly by along with the fire trucks, police cars, and Hummers with soldiers in them.
Miss Utah is also in the military!! She served some time in Afghanistan (or Iraq, I don't remember). I thought it was pretty cool that she wore her uniform with her Miss Utah sash and carried her crown in her hands! It is awesome what women can accomplish, now! I want that kind of example for my daughter. (Sorry the pic isn't better, when the camera was ready again, she was too far away.)
As always, there are a few...different entries:
This one was a casket being pulled by a motorcycle.
I don't know why this founding father was put on a fake elephant, but he also had a guy chasing after him with a shovel to make sure he didn't leave a trail... HA!
Then, there were the most eligible bachelors. I guess they weren't having any luck with the dating scene, so they entered the parade, rode motorcycles and put their phone numbers on their backs. It was pretty funny!
We then went back to Aaron's parents' house and had a BBQ. It was a nice day and we all had fun! I hope you all had a great 4th of July, too!!
