Lehi Roundup Parade

I love parades and miss being in Burley for the fair and rodeo. So, the past few years we have tried to make up a little by going to our community days parade. This year we not only attended but the girls participated. At the end of the school year the Jr High cheerleaders for next year did a fund raiser by doing a cheer camp not long after school got out. They spent one morning learning cheers and dances to perform in this parade.This is how cute and excited the girls were before the parade started.

We went early to get a good spot and have donuts (It is a tradition). We also had to go early so the girls could eat and get to where they were supposed to meet early enough. But, the poor boys had to wait in the sun for a long time.

This is Abby and Grace's voice teacher. She just won the Miss Lehi pageant.Our boys were happy about the spot we had though, when the parade started. They got a lot of candy.

In this parade all the wards in our area make floats. ON Friday night, there is a smaller parade for just them and they get judged. Then they get to show their awards in the big parade. Our ward did a float. The theme this year was tall tales. Ours was about bedtime stories with tall tales. We won honorable mention.
Finally here comes my cheerleaders (two hours later). They were close to the end of the parade. OH, they are so cute dancing to a song called "Ice Cream and Cake".

And, here they are hot, tired, and happy when it is all over.

Yeah-I cant wait till next year!

Hey Jeanne!
I am so glad you said "hi"! Blogs are what I do now that I don't work, ha ha! Your kids look so big it is amazing how much they grow when you don't see them every now and again. Hope you're doing well, and I will keep up with you here. Love the footloose in lehi, you are creative!
