Cheer camp and the parade

At the fourth of July BBQ Matt's cousin mentioned that Aspen made the cheering squad and would be in the Draper Days parade.  They were also having junior cheer leaders and would Emme be interested.  Emme's favorite thing is to say she wants to be like Aspen.  So being a cheerleader with Aspen was exciting.  Three nights for two hours she got to go to cheer leading camp.  They learned a few moves and had fun wearing out their "cheer moms"  They got a picture with a cheerleader and a cute shirt. They also go to be in the parade.  Emme was so excited for each cheer camp.  Every one commented how cute and full of energy she is full.  This morning when I woke her for the parade she told me she was tired and wanted to sleep till I reminded her about the parade then she got right up.  Matt dropped us off the corner where parade was being lined up so I could check Emme in and get her to her float.  The younger ones got to ride on the float.  Each cheerleader was assigned to three kids to stay with through the parade.  Plus Aspen was constantly watching her so I felt safe leaving her and just watching the parade with the family.  Marnie and Me went and found where Troy had saved seats.  Alex was hanging in his stroller while Livi collected candy thrown.  I think we got like five otter pops, tons of flyers and candy.  Livi loved seeing all the princesses and when people through her candy.  Alex loved it when Leatherby's gave us ice cream, he loves ice cream.  It was so hot and I think all the adults agreed we are not parade people.  Livi had a blast.  Emme loved riding on the float.  Matt was ready to head back to bed.  He has to work tonight, but he is always ready to do something our kids will enjoy even if we won't.  As we were walking back to the car Livi's balloon pop and she started crying.  Another parade goer gave her theirs.  Then when Matt opened the door that one popped.  Livi informed her Dad he was in a time out for it and she was mad at him.  Livi says he is still in a time out three hours later.

Hi five to the bear

Livi is like me she turns lobster red in the heat.  Don't worry she wasn't sun burned.  She had tons of sunblock on.

Here comes the cheerleaders
