Oh, I am so far behind on posting. Here are some (unedited) shots from our Pioneer Day celebrations last week.
Kari & I braved Cottonwood Heights with 6 kids. Their neighborhood has the perfect parade - short with lots of candy. Though, we discussed that we need to suggest a candy other than taffy - 100 F weather & taffy on hot pavement is not a good combination!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4SKSZiWMd8GK9t3E7B9KkZxFmVB9JZbBJ6aa-optTMOUIZQ0wdQnKLkuz47wdYP7dZyZ8-OMvu6CHTWZUCKL7TcIaLZiZiHZ8e_VFE-PKaNAOErBa1k9lH2fsO8cGNT0dv3JJ9w/s320/DSC_9713.JPG)
Charlie, Nate & Hayden loved to sit & watch the parade. Charlie was mesmerized by the big trucks, helicopter & police cards! Ella & Noah happily collected candy from the streets with Greta (our taffy-fiend) trailing closely behind.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeklpT9UYpA5zAJawh7rNBdDAdxWECPQMlp3eP4offzTkNDydkj7aysw2rzv-1Vst9m_45AzEu4hD068-5rf258vFGzk9wMsTysugbriAXbDwFJqKbEWZjnpF1271Wp3SO-3sfvQ/s320/IMG_9471.JPG)
After the parade, we needed to cool down the kids with a round of snow cones. Then, off to the bounce games. We even managed to get the bounce house to ourselves so that the twins (all 4 of them) wouldn't get squished.

The fire department hoses down the grass during the day (before the fireworks) & the kids had a great time running through the water.
Noah & Greta were soaked to the bone (Greta got knocked over & wasn't too happy about it - but she was nice & cool!).![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnwX89z5y-i520U-TVq-QKziiybPzRdeSFG7xMITRfPOZON7zdggfMHKy7zeeF4TUS3B2At3lRpfRQTLwv8caAMhW4ErORL9dPQtsYRzhlR-WRHlcs4vLVmzzVRdRDNOlzNrrabQ/s320/DSC_9753.JPG)
After a quick bath & check in with Dad, Ella & I went back to watch the fireworks with the Sikorski's - after many ooh's & ahh's (and a little kettle corn), we made it home.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhtkltUZjXQIQ3JbhC3Gc9hPzHNf2HSOzLaIgKCHZKJVZzH5n8mBO161wZnZmPsgKED24AZGPk2RAvLr44C6lr3TEOrhJxd5sjwiSg0nV9opDfcqDbM557BEWUpmSCZM1EQMeomQ/s320/DSC_9793.JPG)
