Pioneer Day

For the Pioneer Day Parade we finally, after 4 years of living in here, figured out how to get seats in the shade. Originally we were going to have Officer Zufelt put the seats out during his nightshift but he didn't have time. Sam woke up and put the seats out at 8am and we had perfect seats in the shade and we didn't even care that we had to wait an hour for the parade to start.


We had lots of friends to share the fun with again this year. After the parade we went to Main Street Park and Porter got to go on three inflatables. After the park we made the mistake of trying to go out to lunch with kids. The restaurant was hawaiian food and from what we know the staff runs on hawaiian time and it took forever to get our food. It was so embarassing because the kids couldn't handle waiting so long but if the owners were embarassed/mad they should have hurried and got us food. Next time I go to the hawaiian place I will do a call ahead to go order.
That night we didn't really plan anything. I am a mean Mom cause I didn't even tell Porter there were fireworks that night. When I told Porter it was time for bed Sam reminded me we had sparklers. We went outside and lit smoke bombs and sparklers. Sam's new camera has a fireworks setting so I took some fun pictures of Porter playing with sparklers and they turned out really well.
