Grand View Days

Last year we were out of town for Grand View Days and missed out on our softball tournament. This year we were around, but Simplot didn't get a team together so we still didn't get to play softball. Oh well. We had a great time going to the Pit BBQ dinner, watching the fireworks and the parade. They even had some carnival rides, which I here is a first for our little community. I must say, I've never seen so many people gathered together here. It was really nice!

Waiting for the parade to start


They tossed out a ridiculous amount of candy at the parade. Cooper and Carson lazily picked it up and we still ended up with a huge grocery sack full. Insane! I told Cooper and Carson they could pick out a few pieces, and then we were going to save the rest for later. I'm thinking family reunion... spread the sugar high around!

Lainee enjoyed the parade from the stroller. She was actually ready for a nap, but everytime she'd get close to closing her eyes another old fire truck would come by and honk a couple times. That kept her awake and bright-eyed until the end of the parade.


This military Apache helicopter landed before the parade started and took off afterwards. We were able to watch it lift off. The neat thing was that the pilot used to be in our ward, so he let Cooper and Carson climb up inside and take a look around. Pretty cool!
