Another day, another parade (Or July 4th in Delta)

The whole family

This year for the 4th of July, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Bender's house in Delta. Steve got off work a little early on the 3rd and we took off at about 4 PM. We got into Delta at about 6 PM and had dinner at the Pizza House (the best pizza place west of Nephi. Wait...I think it's the only pizza place west of Nephi. But it's REALLY good anyway). We got up the next morning and went to the Delta parade. There were some jets from HAFB that did a fly over at the begining of the parade. It was awesome to see and Brady really enjoyed it. As the parade started, Brady got really excited. He loved waving at all the pretty princesses. He got lots of candy too which he loves to share with mom and dad (when dad's blood sugar is low).

After the parade, we went to the park where they had another carnival type area set up. Brady did the fish pond. At this carnival, they had horse back rides, face painting, and all kinds of food and craft booths. There was a demolition derby that night that we were going to go to, but it was a little more expensive than I was hoping so instead we just watched the fireworks from a nearby park. Brady loved all the lights and colors. He was fascinated and not scared at all! The next day was a relaxing day. Steve had his 10 year high school reunion so we met up with his former classmates and their spouses and kids at another park and had popscicles and drinks and got to know each other. It was really fun. He had a small graduating class, only about 200 people. It was really warm, so we didn't stay at the park for long. When we got back to Grandma & Grandpa's house, we took a nap and got our things packed. Steve and I had a dinner at his school for the reunion so we left Brady with the grandparents and had a little "date night". When it was over, we packed up the car and headed home. Overall, it was a great weekend and a fantastic 4th of July! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a great visit!
