The days of 47 parade!!!

Back in the day my family would get a hotel and stay in Salt Lake City the night before the parade, get up early and get a spot to watch the days of 47 parade.  We haven't done that in years, I mean I don't even remember doing that, I was so little the last time we went.  My wonderful mother thought it would be fun to start that up again. At first it was only going to be my little family, my sisters family, a few of my oldest brothers kids, and grandma and grandpa. Then before we know it, almost everyone was coming. So we headed up after church on Sunday. We stayed at the Marriot on west temple and 1st south. We had so much fun,

we went swimming...

(grandma was trying to take pictures with grandpas camera)

(grandma got a hold of the camera again.)

went to temple square...

(Bentley and his worried faces it's so hard to get a cute picture out of that little boy)

Temple square was really fun we talked to the sister missionaries and they showed us a really cute movie about the plan of families. In the movie the little girls name was Chloe, I always love when Chloe's name is used it makes me feel like we did good on her name. 

ate good food...

(this is really the salt palace)

And  of course went to the parade...

My dad of course had plans of his own and rode his bike home from the parade. He didn't even watch any of it. 

The twins were really tired so they slept through the first half of the parade

We ended up going to the parade pretty late we slept in and went to breakfast then walked down to the parade, so we missed my favorite part, which is when the prophet comes through.  All and all I had a really great time with my family, and like always the twins were really good!!!!!!
