The day started at 6:30 am. I was due at DHS at 7:30 to go to the Centerville parade. We all got in one of the 5 buses and were off! In true Davis Marching Band style, we were always on time or early. After the Centerville parade, we got a water bottle and a granola bar and headed to Kaysville. I had a nap on the bus ride:) The Kaysville Parade was a tad longer and hotter, but I was pleasantly surprised that both parades were shorter than I expected. It was fun (and hot) to march in the parades and sure gave me a taste of what the Rose Parade will be like. These parades were barely 2 1/2 miles long; the Rose Parade is 7 1/2! The crowds were awesome, and even though I couldn't see most of the people that cheered me on, I heard you guys! Thanks!:)

Lexie was in the Kaysville parade too, obviously as a Cheerleader:) And the Ry & Jen Dopps and Kings came over for a quick Doppwagon breakfast |

Very cute and patriotic bunch! |

Awww! |
Even the Centerville people who are in the Viewmont boundaries cheered when we went by.
After the parades I was pretty tired and dehydrated. I made it for the end of the Kaysville parade and drank a few bottles of water. Xanthe even gave me a piece of taffy! :)
After we made it home with most of our blankets, candy, and squirt bottles, the Bazails came over! They live in Miami and have been traveling Europe (Italy this time). Alex and Lincoln are so cute and have gotten so big! Tricia and Jim came over too. Sara and Rolland looked great and very tan! It was so good to see them all!:)
Then we went over to the Dopp grandparents for a fun barbeque. It was delish! The kids played in the hot tub and kiddie pool. It was so fun!
4th of July wouldn't be the 4th of July without fireworks! I invited some friends to come watch 'em too, so I got to sit by family and friends. Best of both worlds! :)

The fireworks were awesome and I'm pretty sure there weren't any major fires due to them:)
Such a fun, filled day! Happy 4th!
