We finally got to go to the Spanish Fork Fiesta Days together!
When Rick and I first started dating it was in the Spring of 2010. Every summer my family goes to the 24th of July parade for Fiesta Days in Spanish Fork. When Rick got his work schedule and ended up having to work that morning I was a little bummed and said something like, "Oh well. We'll just make sure you don't have to work next year so we can go together!"
Ha. Little did I know...
The next summer, which was also last summer, I was big pregnant and due to have Kimbri mid-August. August 16 to be exact. The parade was scheduled for July 25 because July 24 was on a Sunday. We spent July 24 at Rick's Grandparents house in Salem for a little get-together and had dinner. That night we decided to just spend the night in Spanish Fork since we didn't leave Salem until after 11pm and the parade was the next morning. We figured that it would save us some time and gas money driving all the way back to Provo just to turn around and go back to SF.
To make a very long story short, the next day as we were getting ready to go to the parade,
my water broke.
So, for obvious reasons, we did not attend the Spanish Fork Parade last year either. And I was just fine with that because I got to go and deliver a beautiful little girl into this world - Kimbri.
Anyway, this year was the year! Rick did not have to work. My water didn't break. And we went to the parade together as a family with my parents and siblings and a few other people that we've known for a long time that we always sit with on the same corner every year for the parade.
It was really fun and Kimbri sure enjoyed her yellow popsicle that Chris Smiley gave her. Thank goodness it was yellow and not red otherwise her shirt would have totally stained!
She sure loved it!
She kept grabbing the popsicle part with her hand. Let's just say that by the time she was finished eating both halves of her popsicle, she was very VERY sticky. But hey, it was fun for her!
Her 'worn out' face. By the end of the parade we were all very hot and ready to go home, but we still had a great time!

Happy 24th of July everyone!
