Celebrate Utah!

In Utah, the 24th of July is a big holiday. So, since it's so close to the 4th of July, we use it as a second chance to wear our cute 4th of July outfits!
Dad and his girls!
Emily, Addy, and cousin Kira. So cute, they can get anything they want!
How can you resist this cute face?
Around the 24th of July, Spanish Fork also celebrates "Fiesta Days" with a rodeo, parade, and various other activities.
The parade is always entertaining because it's mostly baseball teams and beauty queens! (100 entries. It was a long morning!)
At least they throw lots of candy to keep the kids entertained! Emily and Cole caught on pretty quickly how to run out and get candy. Although Emily also figured out that if she didn't get any, all she had to do was cry and the big boys would rush over and hand her some. (That was much easier than fighting the crowd!)
Apparently the candy throwing entertained Chad also! (Again, 100 parade entries makes for a long morning!)
Addy was ecstatic when she found out that some of the parade people even throw Otter Pops !
The big boys were too cool to do anything but sit on the curb and pretend to be uninterested!
And one more of Addy because she is so cute and looks very patriotic with her outfit and flag!
