Syracuse Heritage Days

For the Syracuse Heritage Days parade people started

saving seats the afternoon before.  Crazy specially

since the parade is made up of, advertisements, Dance

companies and a few school groups.  There was only

one float which was from a donut place and by the

time they got to us which was only half way they

were out of the free donuts they were handing out. 

Kind of a bummer parade as usual but the kids 

enjoy the candy.  Brandon was out of town for 

youth conference so at 6:30 I got up and ran over to 

try and grab a spot in the shade for us during the

parade.   My sister and her daughter Emery

watched it with us. 

My favorite part of the parade was the random

Princesses through out the parade walking. 

Princess Bell was nice enough to snap a picture

with my girls.   

After the parade we went home to get our choirs done

and then we blew up the water slide and the kids

and their friends played all day.  

After a day in the sun we headed back over to the

park to hear my dad play in his band.

I liked just sitting here listening and the kids

did pretty good granted we brought their parade

candy to keep them busy.  Two of my sisters 

joined us as well.  Kami and Karissa.  

My dad plays bass and is on the right in the black

shirt.  Oh my gosh it was one hundred degrees 

that day and even the shade it was uncomfortable. 

But the band, Echo sounded good.  

My dad even played a little on the keyboard for

a few songs.  I think he liked having some of his

daughters there to watch.  

Not that we wanted to spend a fortune on the dumb

old rides but I promised the kids and I love seeing

them giggle and smile.  Which Owen and Sierra

did on the small roller coaster.
