Grand Parade & Breakfast

I woke up at 5:30, got ready, then got the kids up and ready....and then we all got dad up and ready;) & then we headed up to watch the balloon launch in Provo and then the Parade. We set up our chairs in a nice front row spot on University Ave, and then walked over to the balloons...but they decided it was too windy to lift off so we just saw a few of them blown up...better luck next year. The parade was fun & the overcast weather was great! The kids had fun waving to everyone in the parade & eating candy. Derek loved the guys on the stunt bikes & of course the BYU players that gave him cool cards. Addy loved waving to the princesses and danced around anytime music came on:) After the parade we went to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast & it was delicious...I love eating breakfast out! Happy 4th of July!
