Gilbert Days!

I LOVE this time of year... the weather getting cooler,

all the fun holiday activities with family and friends, and

especially GILBERT DAYS!! 

My family has been going to the Gilbert Days Parade 

EVER since I can remember and I look forward to it

every year! Ryan had to go to the Stake Baptisms so he

wasn't able to come with us... but the kids and I enjoyed it!

Kenzie and I getting ready for the parade to start!!

Gilbert Days is a cowboy type parade with lots

of horses, so tradition is every year my mom 

wears her one and only pair of

wranglers and red cowgirl boots!

This year Sarah and Lyvi decided to 

join in on the tradition! :)

A lady was passing out these bags and gave the kids all

one... so Blake and Brooke decided to use

theirs to hold their candy in it!

Blake thought these were the coolest horses

he'd ever seen!! 

(Of course not cooler than Snoopy!) ;)

After the parade we went to my parents 

house for lunch and pony rides!!

Blake was SO excited to ride Snoopy... Kenzie

took a lot of convincing but she did it! 

Kicking and screaming she finally rode Snoopy...

and of course I didn't take a picture of it!!

So we will have to try it again! :)

Then, for us over the 100lb weight limit my dad

hooked Snoopy up to her cart!

It was such a fun morning and afternoon 

with family... we are just sad that Ryan

had to miss out in the

Gilbert Days Festivities!! 

There's always next year!! ;)
