Pioneer Day Parade in Fairview

For Pioneer day we went down to Sanpete County to join in on some small town fun.  Mike and Hunter were at Scout camp so I took the rest of the kiddies down to Fairview for the breakfast and parade.  Problem was, the breakfast seemed to be shutting down when we got there.  I piled the kids back into the car and we quickly drove down the rode to the diner for pancakes, french toast, and bacon.  The kids were entertaining themselves by making straw wrapper mustaches.

 We finally made it to the parade and was it hot!  This is why I detest parades, I can't stand sitting out in the heat.  The highlight of the parade was the candy for the kids.  The "parade" consisted of a bunch of trucks and cars driving down the road throwing out candy.  I saw maybe one float, one marching band, and a handful of girls doing dance routines.  Not quite my idea of a parade.  The kids enjoyed getting sprayed by the fire truck.


 I loved the missionaries' sign, it was totally Napoleon Dynamite.

After the parade we went over to the house in Mt. Pleasant and hung out with all of the cousins.  We had a yummy lunch.  The kids had fun playing and I enjoyed talking to everyone.  We headed out a little early,  because Laina refused to take a nap.  Of course she was asleep within 5 minutes once we hit the road.  Shakes were calling our name so we ended the day with thick delicious shakes from the Shave 'n Cream on the way out of town.
