Last Friday we went to the Bountiful Handcart Days parade, mostly to see Matt and the other 2,000 stripling warriors.
For those of you who don't know, a Bountiful man had some vision of gathering 2000 young men to recreate an image of Helaman and his army of stripling warriors and walk in the parade. They actually ended up with 2,200 boys/men and it was definitely worth fighting the crazy parade crowds to see!
Helaman... the man who had the idea.
Pictures don't do it justice. The line of boys just went on forever and ever down the street! It was pretty cool!
On Pioneer Day we went down to Mapleton to celebrate with my siblings and their families. We started off our celebration with the Mapleton parade. Afterwards we went to a little carnival at the park, had lunch, and the girls played some carnival games.
Mike brought out his toy for us to try out :) Way to go Mom!
The Helicopter Ping Pong Ball Drop. As it sounds they dropped balls from a helicopter, each of them having a number on it. They then drew some numbers and the winners won bikes! Matt and Lexie both participated, but didn't win.
Taya's "mustache" :) She cracks me up!
