Cotton Days

We had a busy day on Saturday. Washington City Cotton Days was this last week, so we went to the parade on Saturday morning with our friends the Dean's. We then had a double birthday party for our cousins Breanna and Cade. And, I left the party early to go get a pedicure and a manicure. Fun for me! It was nice being alone for awhile. These are pictures of the kids at the parade. Amie and Ryan- if you thought Puyallup was small-town, you haven't been to Washington City, Utah. I think half the parade was made up of tractors. The kids had a good time- the weather was perfect that early in the morning, it wasn't too crowded and it was done in less than an hour. What a perfect parade! Jordan, Alexa, Callie, Parker and Leah waiting for the Parade to start. They didn't last long on this blanket. I think it mostly housed the candy that was collected.
This is the Washington City Royalty. Two of the girls are in our ward (red dress and dark dress). Way to go Kaylee and Amber!! We are so proud of you!
Leah, watching from the safety of her stroller. I think she really enjoyed herself- she didn't even complain once. And, she loved when the horses came by. She would point and yell. It was really cute.
Some of our spoils from the parade. Almost every float or entry throws candy. Parker was great to be the first on the scene; he'd grab what he could so the little kids didn't get trampled by other big kids. Collecting candy can be a nasty business...
