Pioneer Day

 Monday, Spanish Fork celebrated Pioneer Day!  We LOVE SF's parade and festivities!  We got our usual spot at the parade - right in front of Josh's work.  




 Sophie- rocking Josh's sunglasses.
 Jace loved EVERYTHING!  Horses, floats, bands, dancers, fire engines, and candy!

 We waved at all the princesses....



 We were sprayed by the hoses.  (It really was quite a pleasant day!  Lots of could cover, so we didn't get too hot!)

 There were a few airplanes buzzing the parade, and Jace loved them!

Then, during the twins' naptime, I took the other 3 to the carnival.  The kids always ride this boat ride!  They say they love the water and the bells.  This time, they enjoyed soaking Mom.  :)



 They rode this little mini roller coaster, and loved it!






 I love Bella's looks of glee in these pics!  So cute!

 Then, the last ride Kaley and Thomas chose to ride was the strawberry twister one.  They made themselves so dizzy!  


 Bells was not into that one as much, and used her last ticket for the carousel.  





We finished off our hot, fun carnival day with a Shave Ice.  Yumm!

Then, we headed up to Farmington for a Hayes Reunion.  We ate some dinner together and then swam at the Farmington Pool.  
 Grandpa is giving the twins Mint Oreos.  :)


 I had to snap a pic of our flip flops in a pile.  It's crazy how many shoes are at my house!  











 Kaley and Thomas were dare devils and went off the diving board!  They are getting to be pretty good swimmers!

 

 Jace stuck like glue to Grandpa most of the night!  He sure has found a buddy in Grandpa!
 Kaley's cannon ball!  
 Tired, cold babies!  It really wasn't that warm while we were swimming, and it looked like it could start raining at any minute.  The kids sure did have fun though!



 Then it was back to Spanish Fork for some fireworks!  We found a spot to park to watch the city's firework show, and did some of our own while we waited.  We also had some glo sticks for the kids!  











 Jace helping Dad-Doo with the fireworks.  So cute!





The City show didn't start until 10:50, so we didn't get home and kids in bed until 11:30!  I don't think my kids have EVER been up that late!  

What a fun celebration!!!

Fun!

 Last weekend, we went to Kaysville to visit with some of Josh's friends from high school.  I only took 2 pictures!  The kids loved chasing butterflies in Greg and Katie's backyard.  
 Jace loved this helmet!  Cute kid!
 Jace is quite the strong boy!  He loves to hang like a monkey from the tramp.  
 Wonder where he learned it from....
