This past week we went to the Utah County Fair and to the Days of '47 parade downtown. Jack slept through both, but it was fun to get outside at any rate. The Days of '47 parade is a really big deal around here. People seriously camp on the side of the road to save a prime spot to watch it. The parade celebrates the pioneers coming to the Salt Lake Valley and so there were lots of people dressed up in period costumes and horses pulling things like the moving truck in the picture here. It is hard to tell but the other pictures is the BYU float. I thought they were brave to have a BYU float up in Salt Lake City since that is University of Utah territory. There were a mix of boos and cheers as it came down the street. Jack and I didn't stay for the whole parade because the heat started to climb back up to 100 but what we saw was fun.
