Oh my Heck, it's flippin official I am a Mormon whether I like it or not. I have fought the good fight and resisted this Pioneer day Parade ever year. I always looked at this day as a great day off a day to sleep in, to not deal with the crowds. But now that I have a child I find myself doing everything I swore I told myself I would never do (oh wait I can't swear I am Mormon)!
Well either way it was a great way to honor our Military, thanks to all the brave men and women serving our country! (We are proud of you Ethan Plater, we keep you in our prayers)
We did however got ksl seating thanks to Jessica (we love her) and didn't have to save our seats which was the most amazing thing ever! And then to top it off Ksl gave us, I mean Aleksandra free creamies to cool us down during the parade.
My baby and I are some what of a celebrity in our social circle. To say the least everyone loves to stare at us, but don't worry we love the attention!
The girls and I such good friends, couldn't ask for any better people in my life! Oh and Katie Wasson in the back ground cooling off in the shade, love her!

Marc and Dad being nerds!
Grace and Aleksandra so tired out from the parade they both past out right away and fell asleep the whole walk home.
I do admit the whole Pioneer Day was a fun experience and I am glasd we went. I will probably to it next year all in the name of my child. But if she ever ask me to buy her a Pioneer bonnet that is were I draw the line!
Oh, Holly. You make me so jealous! I wish I could have gone to the Pioneer Day parade with you guys. I loved that holiday growing up and now it is no longer celebrated in my life. Only because we forgot about it until we played games with some people in the ward and they wished us a happy pioneer day. We completely forgot. I love parades. Looks like a lot of fun. So nice to have friends in high places.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you said "Oh my heck" and "flippin" make you a utah mormon in and of itself.
ReplyDeleteThat would be the whole reason I added flippin, and heck it was for the whole drama of the blog!!!
ReplyDeletethat was so fun, I think it helps to be up close and personal when going to a parade, it makes it more fun! I am going to Costco tomorrow to get some of those Creamies!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of them sleeping side by side. SO cute!
