Days of '47 Parade Float Preview

Today Kjersti and I needed a fun and FREE activity (we've both run out of money this month... too much playing I guess) so we went to the Days of '47 Parade Float Preview with Kjersti's sister and nieces, Annalise, Maddy, and Ivy. It was a lot of fun. The floats are pretty amazing and I still can't figure out how they actually put them all together. That's got to be a ton of work!

Maddy and Ivy... They are SO cute! I loved having kids with us today, it made everything seem more magical.

Ms. Parkes and Ms. White

This float comes from a stake which a lot of our students belong to. This is Briana showing us her snazzy dance moves. There were other students who would trade off dancing later in the day, too bad we didn't get to see them.

I can certainly skateboard if this old lady can. Maddy wasn't so sure.

Yep, we definitely should have been the parade royalty. That would be my dream come true! A REAL princess!

A tribute to our dear Ms. Parkes.

Hey! I knit too! I just hope I don't look as old and pioneer-like...

Another tribute...

We stood in line for a very long time so Maddy and Ivy could get their faces painted. The wait was worth it. Didn't the artists do an awesome job?! As Maddy said, "Look how cute I am!"

BYU... need I say more?!

And then there's the University of Utah! Totally deserved a leap of joy! I needed some uplifting after being so close to things BYU.
It was a fun day and all should go if today wasn't the last day. Just stick this in your memory bank somewhere and try to make it next year.
