USU Homecoming Parade

This morning we went downtown to watch the USU Homecoming Parade.  Actually, I think we were anticipating meeting up with some of our awesome grand kids.  We were sitting on the side of the road in our lawn chairs ready for the parade, when all of a sudden we heard this great big, BOO.  It was Annika and Ada.  They are such sweet girls and were having a good time together.  Ada had spent the night with her cousin, Annika.  We are glad they like each other and enjoy being together.  The are such beautiful girls and always fun to be around.  They gathered up their share of candy being thrown their way at the parade,  I sometime wonder if the dentists aren't some of the leading sponsors of parades these days.  Micah and  Tristan were there also and enjoyed watching the parade and collecting candy too.  Micah even got a fresh chicken sandwich, compliments of Chick-Fillet.

Below are few of the pictures I snapped of the morning activities.


It was a little cool so Ada and Annika decided to borrow Grandma's jacket.  Yep, one jacket for two girls.  They had fun with it.  Though it did present a challenge when they were out picking up candy off the street, especially when they wanted to go in opposite directions.

Maybe the prettiest thing I saw at the parade was little Neveah.  What a doll.
Grandma even found Kate.  She was riding on a float for her little dance school.  Iris even had to cross the street since she was riding on the opposite side of the road from us.  I think she was glad Grandma made that little extra effort,
Micah and Tristan gathered up their share of candy and then took off to explore the nearby pioneer history statues located just behind  where we were watching the parade.  It is true; some of our greatest blessings call us grandma and grandpa,
