the 24th

I've always loved the 24th celebration that Spanish Fork puts on. The parade, carnival, fireworks and rodeo are all among our favorites. I ran in the 10K again this year with Allyson, and we ALMOST broke 50 minutes...we'll get there someday. :) The weather all day long was great, just a bit overcast and breezy, so we never got too hot. We watched the fireworks down at the softball fields with the rest of the county it seemed. Andy brought a bunch of the neon light sticks that we had left over from the 4th, and ended up attracting every little kid around to our blanket. After Ava and Cael had a few of their own, he gave the rest away (he's always the life of the party). The fireworks were great. We did however have to watch the finale from our car, as we were driving home. Andy always has some well thought out escape plan to beat the traffic jams after events like that. His exact words this time were- "okay... when I say GO, you grab a kid, I'll grab a kid, and then book it to the car" (which was actually parked only about 10 feet from where we were). But he's dead serious, and if I don't haul tail- I'll hear from him. :) It was a fun day. A shout out to the great state of UTAH! Happy 24th!
