Happy 4th of July

(This entire blogpost is backwards! I tried to fix it, but the cut/paste function and the moving pictures function don't appear to be working properly, and I'm too tired to figure it out!)

More parade!

After our great week in Park City, we headed up to North Ogden for the 4th of July Cherry Days celebrations. The parade was great, especially since it was cloudy and the perfect temperature through the whole thing. It was a good parade, although not quite as eventful as an Ashland 4th of July parade (no one jumping out of closets or roller-blading in a g-string up the street). Davis fell asleep in my lap shortly after it started, which was a miracle, and slept through most of the parade. Landon liked getting the candy, but we had about 25 kids sitting right next to us who were much more aggressive than him and who would run over in front of us to get candy. Landon tends to be the type who will stop running for a piece of candy if he sees another kid heading towards it too. Luckily, his older cousin Keither was there to save the day a few times and stop some tears when he gave Landon a piece or two of his candy.

We went up to the park afterward to the Cherry Days in the park, where they have different booths and activities, where we ran into several of Shane's friends and had a nice time visiting with them. We wished we could have stayed another day so we could see more people! That night, we drove out to Clearfield to Shane's grandma's to watch the fireworks and set off a little firework show of our own. Shane set off a few that Davis especially liked, and he would clap and say "yay" after each one. It was a great 4th, and we were only sad that it ended and we had to drive back home the next day!
