Cenneidigh's Birthday as well as Our Nation's Birthday

Monday turned out to be a beautiful day in the 80's with OK humidity.  We started with Paige and Eric setting up chairs along the Parade route at 5:30 AM.  Amanda and Rick relieved then at 8:30 AM to make sure people did not move our chairs - it happened to us one year.  The crowd started showing up around 10 and by 10:30 most of our group was there to hold our area.  One chair got moved however and some people jumped in and took all the space between the chairs on either side of the one removed.
Watching the Parade

Kristi and Cenny.  Kristi worked on this beautiful cake for many hours.  She modeled the girl on top the cake after Cenny in the dress Grandma made her for the 4th - next picture.  There were 8 sparklers going off on the cake but I only managed to get the picture with a few of them still going.

One happy baby at the concert!
After the parade Lisa and David had a Ward picnic and birthday celebration for Cenneidigh.  Next was the concert in the park at the Band-shell and then fire works.  The concert was fun and the fireworks spectacular.  We thought last years were the best ever and this year they were even better.  The fireworks were constant for at least 20 minutes and at times you thought they must be doing the finale they were so extravagant.  The ground was shaking from the constant booming.  A great day in so many ways.
