utah vacation: pioneer weekend

Friday and Saturday July 23 and 24th, 2010

We went to the 24th of July Bountiful parade. (thanks Lou for the seats!)
It was the longest parade ever!
But the kids loved collecting all the candy that was thrown from the parade,
as did some of the adults.

From where Oliver was sitting,
I don't think he could see much
but he seemed fine watching all the people around him.
Plus he had gotten some new toys from my uncle Kent 
that kept him quite entertained.

Curtis arrived into town the night before.
It was his first time to all of the 24th of July celebrations.

After dinner, we went up to the Angus home
to do some fireworks.
This is a treat for us Arizonians since fireworks are illegal in Arizona.

I think Curtis is having more fun with the sparkler then Oliver.

The next morning we went to the park

for even more pioneer day celebrations!

The best thing to do at the park,

and one of the only things to do,

is eat,

and eat we did.

The Halibson gang ate some bear claws,

while Oliver got after some

cotton candy.

The park was our last stop in Bountiful,

before we headed down to Saint George.

But before we move on to St. George,

we have to give a shout out to this classy lady.

 

My grandma, G, let us stay at her home for the whole week and a half.

She fed us, cleaned up after us, and took great care of us.

She spoiled Oliver rotten with new toys and lots of hugs and kisses.

If you are going to Utah, I do highly recommend her place.

I don't know how we could have done it without her.

Love you, G!
