Strawberry Days Parade Contined!

Well.. I know this is a little late talking about the Parade, but I have a lot of catching up to do! I think that this will become my journal. I am going to be honest! If you don't like anything I say too bad! :) The Next Morning we got up around 7 a.m. the parade started at 10:00 so we have to get up earlier because we live 40 minutes away from Pleasant Grove. This was going to be Whitney's FIRST STRAWBERRY DAYS!!! I was so excited. We hurried and got ready and off we went. I had three outfits for the day. The first one was one I bought before Whitney was even born. I looked at the tag and I was so excited to put her in it, I saw the tag and I was dissapointed it said 12 months and Whitney was only 7 1/2 months. I tried on her to see if it fit. Nope! It was way too big! The Second Outfit was One that my sister Karen bought for Whitney it was really cute. It had strawberrys all over it. It was a onsie. It was cute I looked at the tag and then it said 6 months. Oh no I was dissapointed and I didn't want to hurt my sisters feelings that I didn't put her in it. So finally the last one was I bought at target, but it wasn't cute as my sisters. I fianlly put it on and we were ready to go! I looked outside and looked up at the sky and it was cloudy! I thought oh please don't rain on us. I stepped out to see what the tempature was and it was cold! Maybe in the 60's but not what I wanted it to be for her first strawberry days, because her outfit was sleevless(I can't spell) so I looked around for her little sweater and put it on. Alright we were ready to go! We got there a little early and the only people that were there so far was my aunt Nancy (my dad's sister) and her Husband (uncle Robert) My family wasn't even there yet! Typical! ;) Anyway we got settled and waited for the parade to start. During that time, my family started to trickle in. Finally the parade started! It was a great Parade and she wasn't even scared of the Fire Engines, she just learned how to clap so she started to clap when the Fire Engines went by it was soooo dang cute. I didn't bring my video camera gosh dang it! Well, it did rain a little bit, but they still did the parade and after the parade we went to my sister Amie's House and had a bbq it was great they had a cotton candy machine that they rented and a snow cone maker, the only thing lacking was the smell of the carni ( the carnival always has the smell of cigratee smoke) we don't smoke, but we have a inside joke about that, but you wouldn't understand it. Anyway they also had strawberries and cream and sure was mmmmm Good! Then it started to rain and everyone had to run around and get the cotton candy machine and everything inside! It was a great Day!!!! I always look forward to that family tradition!! We usually don't even take a vacation during that time because their is so much going on that week. I am already looking forward to next year, becuase she will be old enough to go on the rides :)
