"West Fest"

Every year West Valley City throws a little carnival called the "West Fest" and we try to go to one of the several things they put on each year. On Saturday morning they had the West Valley City 4th of July parade. We are fortunate enough to have the parade pass right by our neighbor hood, less than a 3 minute walk to see it! This year it was the kids and I along with our neighbor, her kids and extended family. Brenna was scared of every mascot that passed by, and Sam was in awww... They bothed LOVED to look at the fire engines, but didn't like the loud sirens and horns. There was this wierd hoola hooping old lady, and even some roller skating dancers. The indian Dancers were pretty good too. Brenna's favorite part of the parade was the end when the float with the "princess'" (west valley royalty) as she called them passed by and waved right at her! The rest of the day we just ran errands and such... even got a car wash by the Hunter High cheerleaders! Then that night Bill, the kids and myself walked over to the park near our house where the carnival is held and picked a spot to lay out a blanket and watched the firework show they put on. Honestly this is the worst firework show I have seen here yet! Must be lack of funds or something cause they are deffinately capable of better!
