Lehi Days: Main Parade

We had our usual spot for the parade, the kids were lined up with their "cannnn-diiie" bags and ready for action. This years parade was kinda long, but the kids really got loaded up. Also got some fun coupons that we will definitely be using this summer to keep busy. Sydney got to "break" a karate board {see below} and I think Sydney and Jordan were the winners for the most candy retrieved. I also love when they bring out the water bottles!!! and yup, got one.

Austin giving Ryder a few tips about how to collect some good candy:

Talk about a "sweet" brown ride:

Sydney got choosen out of the group of kids by a karate studio to "break" a board.. It took here a try or two, but she did it and was sooo proud of herself:

The kids LOVED this float with all the cool Star Wars characters, I think Austin was possibly drooling:

Lehi Days: Kids Parade

On Friday evening was the kids parade.. It was nice a cool, a few sprinkles, but nothing major. This is the parade where all the kids floats come out and our kids really enjoy seeing what they create. There were some really fun floats this year. Of course Austin's fave part is the fire engine and the police cars..

Lehi Days: Horse Parade

Well here is the first of the parades that we had for Lehi Days. The horse parade which starts at the park and then end at the first night at the rodeo.. The kids were all lined up, and we steaked out our spot a day before, got the chairs out and ready, and the kids loved the horses.

Lehi Days: BBQ in the Park

Gotta love the dinner at the BBQ in the park... some good ole yummy food, music on the stage, and big huge sugar cookies for dessert. The kids also love that they have a jumper and big slide there to play on afterwards. It's so funny, we were talking about the first year we moved here and went to the Lehi Days, Austin was barely able to go into the jumper, and was one of the little kids and we were nervous he'd get jumped on, and Sydney was just in the stroller the whole time. Now the kids are totally in their element and just having a great time..

Lehi Days: Bird Show and Fountain Time

One of the really cool things we got to do that week at the museum was see the bird show. And wow those are some huge birds. There were falcons, eagles, and several other birds that they brought out and taught us about. Did you know that falcons are fastest animals? faster than mountain lions? I didn't, but Austin answered it correctly when they asked the question.. These birds are just beautiful... Afterwards, it was really hot, so the kids went and got their feet wet in the fountain.. That helped to cool them off.

Lehi Day: Museum

One of the fun things about Lehi Days is that the Hutching's Museum has free admission every day for the week. I have never been, but Austin went for a field trip and really enjoyed it. We saw a magic show while we went there and the kids sat up front and LOVED it, they thought it was really fun and exciting. Then we toured the museum and saw lots of fun stuff, the kids even ended up going to jail while we were there... Yup, they had fun.

Lehi Days: Picnic In the Park

Our favorite time of year is the Lehi Days week that we have each year, and the city puts on a week full of activities.. We look forward to it so much and the kids REALLY love it, since there is sooo much fun stuff for them to do, and us as a family. The first night has the picnic in the park. We do the same thing each time, pick up some Subway sandwiches and grab the big blanket and eat in the park, enjoying the live entertainment. The kids love it, since at the end they get chocolate Popsicles.. Plus they like to dance around to the music... As you can see, we had fun.
