We love celebrating the summer holidays in Cedar City. The girls got to wear their patriotic dresses that Auntie Caroline bought them :)
The bigger parade and festival with it's stressed crowds, too many political and beauty queen floats of Provo just don't stack up to this small town parade feeling atmosphere. Anybody can enter the parade, so you see all sorts of local grass-roots groups parading down the street, and the feeling of community. Nearly every float had candy, frisbees, t-shirts to share, or water guns to cool us down. The Ladybug Nursery even passed out potted flowering plants and tomato plants. Watching the veterans go by brought tears of gratitude to my eyes for their years of unwavering service for my freedom. Afterwards, we had a rocking party hosted by my sister.
Thad came down to celebrate the day, and we finished out with watching Les Mis as the Shakespeare Festival- best production ever!! A perfect ending to a perfect day!
