We started the day off with the Cedar City parade and got great seats thanks to our friends the Huff's who live right down the road. The parade itself was definitely below par and really was a mass marketing tactic for local businesses. But they had fire trucks (that Seth is obviously a fan of) and they did throw out "some" of that generic taffy candy....so maybe it was all worth it? Ahh, I kid. It was fun going with friends and hey its TRADITION!
Love this little delectable patriotic desert I make every so often come July 4th. I was determined too, to make it. Even though blueberries were NOT on sale and I have clear memories of Cordelle rolling his eyes on the price of said blue berries which I normally would never spend that amount of money on, but which he knew I was going to (despite his disapproval) because I had set out to make it. Once I get my mind set on something....
We decided to have some the Frisby's, Askeroths, Ramsay's, and Losee's over for some after lunch swimming party. We snacked and talked and the kids went crazy in the sprinklers, pools, and with water balloons. It was actually a lot of fun, and lucky for those of us not getting wet, it was pretty cloudy all day.
Seth really did enjoy the sparklers, despite this look
Over all it was a fun and busy day. Between the parade, the water party, a barbeque, and then a separate desert party with fireworks, it was quiet eventful. But whats best is right outside our door we get Enoch city's firework show which for a small town is actually quite good! And just short enough to let the kids watch and then walk inside and go to bed :) Love this town.
