Day's of 47 Youth Parade

This morning was the Day's of 47 Youth Parade downtown, and Sam and Ammon had the austere opportunity to participate in the Parade as part of our Stake's float. Ammon didn't want to do it, but Monica forced him to, since it is not something that you get to do all the time.

To tell you the truth, neither Monica or I knew that they did the Youth Parade the week before the Day's of 47 Parade. There wasn't a ton of people, but there were a lot and about 50 floats.

Joshua loved the bands! He would start dancing up a storm to the music and would not stop.

Then when the boys came by we started yelling their names and cheering for them. We were right by the TV cameras so they were on tv as they passed by. They had fun!

It was hot, but fun. It is better when you are anticipating something, especially when that something is your children.

A Night out at The Ball Park

This is coming a little late, but better late than never, and I need something to do. On July 5th we went to the Bees game as a family. I was nice, I got the tickets for free from work since US Bank sponsors the Bees, my manager gets a lot of tickets every year. I mentioned that I like baseball and we've been wanting to go to a game and he came to my desk and gave me tickets. Anyway it was nice because since it was the day after Independence Day they did fireworks. The kids were very excited for the fireworks. The park was pretty packed for the fireworks.

We had fun watching the game, it was a good game for the first few innings and then turned bad for the home team.

The fireworks were spectacular!

We got home pretty late and everybody was hungry. We weren't about to pay $6 for a hotdog at the park. It is always nice when we can spend time together as a family doing something fun and out of the ordinary. I am thankful that my manager gave me the tickets.
