Manassa Celebration

The next day we went to Manassa’s celebration.  Once again we started with the parade.

The kids love the candy AND the popsicles.  I loved how the popsicles coordinated with their outfits.  :) The entire week Jerrica loved the attention that Dalton gave her.  She is STILL talking about Dalton!

Bright and early before the parade, we had a few run in the 5k.  I was surprised at how many people there were.   They had just over 500 runners participate.  Kaylee took 1st place in the 9-12 girls and Nathan took 2nd in the boys 9-12 group.  They were excited about their trophies.  I thought the t-shirts were fun.

Here are some of them after the race.  They all look a little tired and ready for some breakfast.

 

After the trophy presentation we headed over to the carnival. 

In the evening we went to the rodeo.  My friend Kim and her family came down for the celebrations and met us there.  Kim ALWAYS entertains me with her comments!

Notice Jacob is NOT watching the horse race, instead he is sketching.

We got a picture of all the grandkids that were there for the week. 

I really feel that cousins are kind of an extension of a sibling.  It was the cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles that made this a fun week.  We sure love each of you and miss you already!
