\"Cambridge — Cambridge Ward's float - Builders of Eternal Families.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Spanish Fork’s big celebration for the year is July 24 (Pioneer Day).\u00a0 They hold the Saturday before the 24th a Children’s Parade, that has grown into a much larger event than what the original was intended to be.\u00a0 Now after the Children’s Parade, there are activities and festivities in the Library Park that last all day.\u00a0 It really is a lot of fun, but also exhausting!<\/p>\n
But that’s ok, since summer time is about having fun!<\/p>\n
The boys really wanted to take Ruxpin with us for the parade.\u00a0 I really didn’t want to have to drag him around with us in the park for the rest of the day, but I relented and asked Dave to come get us when we were done.\u00a0 Well, our day turned out much different than we thought it was going to be.<\/p>\n
I had Jacob in my sling and Ruxpin on a leash and I walked down with them on the parade route down to the park.\u00a0 Ruxpin was very excited for the walk.\u00a0 Jacob loved all the attention too.<\/p>\n

Once we got down to the park, there were activities galore.\u00a0 The first and most important for my boys and for LaMont’s family was to get to the Fish Derby.\u00a0 They really wanted to make sure that they caught a fish with their bare hands.\u00a0 For $5 each they waited in line for 45 minutes waiting for the fish to arrive.\u00a0 I called Dave and had him pick up Ruxpin, and drop off swimsuits.\u00a0 They really wanted to have swimsuits so they didn’t have to get their clothes wet.<\/p>\n
Dave was a good sport and was taxi person for the next 30 minutes doing my To Do list (like going to the ATM to get cash, bring the swimsuits, then coming to pick us up when we were done).<\/p>\n
But the boys had a great time!\u00a0 2 years ago when we did the fish derby James was heartbroken to see his fish die before his eyes<\/p>\n
$\"Here's$
Here's Sam using a net to try to get his fish<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
in the Ziploc bag.\u00a0 This year he did ok, but it was Anthony that was traumatized with the death of his fish.\u00a0 He started crying, asking for Dave to get to the park fast to pick us up so we could get it home and in the fish bowl.\u00a0 Even though we kept telling him that a trout can survive in a little bowl.\u00a0 He had to see it for himself.\u00a0 After quite a few tears, he insisted that we bury it in our backyard.\u00a0 So we did.\u00a0 We planted a plant over it too.\u00a0 Benjamin couldn’t wait to have his fish grilled up.\u00a0 (Which we still haven’t done yet.\u00a0 It’s still in the freezer.)<\/p>\n

$\"James$
James finally got his fish with his bare hands. It took him about 45 minutes, but he did it without the net!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
We got home with the fish, changed their\u00a0 clothes (the boys, not the fish), and returned back to the park to do more activities.\u00a0 This time we brought along Jessica, Ryan and Savvy.\u00a0 (Boy that’s a full crowd to put in the van!)<\/p>\n
$\"Samuel$

$\"Savannah$
Savannah coming down from a big jump<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
There was also a jumping trampoline thing that was $5\/jump for about 3 minutes.\u00a0 There was a huge line for this right after the parade, and Brynn Lewis waited in line for it for 1 hour.\u00a0 By the time we got to it at noon, there were significantly less amounts of kids there, so we waited about 10 minutes for a turn, and nearly everyone took a turn jumping HIGHER than they’ve ever jumped before.\u00a0 Too fun!!!!<\/p>\n
