4th of July

Growing up we always went to Old Glory Days in Riverdale for the 4th of July but now that we have family member's in parades our traditions have changed. The night before my parents stake had rented the aquatic center so everyone went and then Jacee, Oakley, and Addisyn came home with me to have a sleepover. Oakley always wants to spend the night at my house but when she does she always ends up crying when she gets tired because she misses her mom and dad.  Luckily Jacee was able to get her to lay down and she was asleep with 5 minutes. As much as I love to have them spend the night my bed isn't big enough for all of us. I ended up laying on the very edge of the bed and then I woke up in the middle of the night to find Oakley laying on my half hanging off the bed.  I was planning on getting up early and getting ready and then getting the girls up so I could get them ready but things didn't exactly go as planned. We woke up an hour late and only had 20 minutes to get ready before Larissa came over. Our first stop of the day was Plain City's parade.We made it to the parade with plenty of time to spare but then we forgot Jacee's tumbling at my house and had to run back. We really didn't need to go back to my house because Ann had another pair of gloves but I couldn't find my phone so she couldn't call me. My dad and Cody ran in the 5K and we had planned to go watch them cross the finish line but I don't know my way around Plain City so we decided to just go sit and wait for the parade to start. The Silverline was in the parade and they did a great job they actually danced in front of us. We also got to see my Cousin Holly's kids in the parade because they're officers at Wahlquist and Fremont. Our next stop was Hooper parade to watch Jacee tumble for the dance studio. Hooper does their parade later than most of the other cities which is nice because we can go to mutiple parades but it also sucks because it is super hot by the time the parade starts. After the parade I was supposed to go shopping with Whitney for her outfit for Silverline pictures but I went home and took a 4 hour nap instead. When I woke up I waas finally able to find my phone and my mom told me that everyone was at Dave and Lesa's house swimming so I headed over their while Adam headed to the Real game.

Zoey is definitely a morning person.

Oakley hates loud noises so she had her hands over her ears for most of the parade.
Parker got to drive the ambulance.
You can see both Whitney and Sloane in this picture which is awesome because they weren't standing close together.

Here is Jacee showing off her tumbling moves.
Dayton seemed hot so I took off his clothes.
