All work and no play makes Marti & Emy grumpy kids

It's a good thing that the 24th of July is a holiday in Utah because my kids needed a break from packing. We went to the parade downtown and I found out a few things about my kids. Marti really doesn't like clowns, she would see one coming and would run to hide behind the chairs. She also doesn't like the motorcycle cops, but she loves the horses and princesses. Emersyn will dance to any sort of music, marching bands, church choirs, bagpipes, she just can't help herself.

After the parade we went swimming, it was really hot so we all stayed in long enough to turn into prunes.
