Thursday was a pretty big day for us! We went to lunch with Nana, picked up Nate from work, ran around and did some errands, and then headed down to the Bountiful Parade. My mom sacrificed her morning to set up chairs for us to have a spot. It was a pretty good spot too, ended up being in the shade most of the time even though we were on the "wrong side" of the road. Fun parade, the kids got lots of candy, we all had a good time watching and munching on all the junk food we had.
sorry, I know this looks like the other one. I love the pictures of them waving to everything before it even got to us.
I do have to say that if you are ever in a parade and you are asked to give out bottles of water (yes, that is plastic bottles FULL of water), do me a favor and don't THROW them. My face is still bruised from the water bottle that hit me as I was looking down, unscrewing the lid from the one I (luckily) caught (while holding a baby on my lap!!!!) .... not a good idea. Some people were rolling them... I would suggest doing that, it's not as dangerous!
After the parade we headed on over to the carnival. We were so excited to actually have cash with us that we could actually spoil the kids and let them do some of the things at the carnival. This is really the first year that we have done this. We usually just walk around looking for free stuff.... so it was fun. The kids all went on the Shark Slide, and then the girls were set on going on this "Bouncy Thing" where they strap you to a bungy cord and let you jump really high on these trampolines. The boys didn't want to, so Heidi and I stayed in line with the girls while Nate took the boys on a bunch of little boy rides. The girls had fun. They were both so nervous on the thing that they didn't do a whole lot and you could tell they were pretty freaked out :) But they had fun.
Here's Kelly. She really wasn't heavy enough to get herself back down to the trampoline.... the guy had to keep pulling her down and bouncing her.... she had fun though- they both looked so cute!
Charity braved the rock wall. Which surprised me since she can barely stand to go 6 feet up on the one at Discovery. But she sure surprised me. She got WAY up there. Probably 3/4 of the way before deciding she'd had enough. And she was wearing flip flops even. She did good.
As we were getting ready to leave Brent and Sarah showed up and had ice cream for everyone. So the kids played around on the playground while we all ate and talked. Then this lady from the scone booth came and gave us a bag of scone dough to use for breakfast the next morning.... I was so excited :) I love scones. It was a really fun night!! Fun day. It's nice that they totally drag out the fun here in Bountiful. Good excuse to play till you drop!
