This year, like the last few years, we went to the parade preview for Pioneer Day aka 24th of July. This year we met my sisters Laura and Linda and their crew for an afternoon of face painting and ballon creations. We saw all the beautiful floats and met the Pioneer Day royalty. After that we had lunch together then came back to our pool for an afternoon of swimming and chatting. My littlest sister, Megan just moved to San Diego for medical school for her hubby and my other little sister, Heidi went with to help her set up her new place. After a long afternoon of swimming we went to Leatherby's for dinner and ice cream. We ordered 4 of the biggest sundaes they have and pigged out. It was terrific. Today (the actual 24th of July) we've had a quiet day at home packing and cleaning for our weekend trip to Preston Idaho to visit Cookie Grandma. We'll do some fireworks tonight and stay up late, I'm sure, but our big day of fun was yesterday. We're spending Friday at the American West Heritage Museum so we'll get a full dose of pioneers then.
Gwen trying to decide what ballon to get.
Emily wanted a butterfly ballon and butterfly face paint.
Gwen wanted a kitty ballon
This was Emily's favorite float. It had a giant butterfly on top and a caterpillar train that went around it.
Gwen
Another super great amazing thing is that Gwen has been working hard to be dry through the night. She'd only had a handful of dry nights her whole life, then we had a talk about it, listened to A pod cast about it, and decided together to try some things to help her be dry. She's been dry for over a week, so we splurged and got her some prizes: dolls from her favorite movie Equestria Girls. We had to get some for Emily too who threatened to start peeing the bed if we didn't. Yeah, she's a great manipulator.
