Pioneer Day 2019

Pioneer Day arrived and the kids were ready for a parade!  We made it to Spanish Fork early and the kids got ready with their candy bags.  There was plenty of candy thrown and Ruby and Juniper even caught free t-shirts.  The weather was perfect and we all had a great time watching the parade.

After the parade, we headed to the park where the real fun began.  The kids look forward to the water fight in the water park all year - seriously.  As soon as I mention any parade, they want to know if it is the one with the free squirt guns.  We try to establish a "safe zone", but this year no one seemed to care.  If you were there, you were a target, and everyone ended up playing.  There was a lot of laughter, wet clothes, and surprisingly, no tears. 

We got lucky and had good cloud cover during the parade, but by the time the water fight was over, the sun was out and it was HOT!  We went to lunch then decided to get out of the heat and go to the movie.  I don't think any of the kids had seen the original animated Lion King, but did know most of the music.  This new version was live action, so there were a few parts that were kind of scary, but the kids seemed to love it and we have been listening to the soundtrack on repeat ever since!
