24th Of July-Pioneer Day 2010

Mapleton always has a 24th of July parade. All the primary kids got to ride in a float or on bikes/scooters. It was lots of fun!
After the parade, everyone gathers at the city park for a bunch of carnival games and blow up toys for kids.

They have teen games too.

After the park, we got ready for our annual party with family and friends. It started at the park behind our house where a helicopter dropped balls and was giving away bikes. Then we had a BBQ and watched the amazing fireworks show right in our back yard! It was such a blast! A fun tradition!

This beautiful coo coo clock was a gift from Frederik's parents. It made me cry.
