Cherry Days Parade

They seem to have a lot of celebrations and parades during the summer here in Idaho. Each city has some sort of celebration. Meridian just had their "Dairy Days" parade and festival, last weekend Eagle had "Eagle Days" festival, carnival and parade, and tonight was Emmet's Cherry Days parade thta ended their Cherry Festival. The parade was nothing spectacular, but it was fun for the kids. Almost every "float" or car passing by would throw candy to the kids. Some kids even brought buckets to put their stash of candy in...yes a stash!

They also have a wet zone where you get soaked from the firemen and other people throughout the parade, maybe next time we will venture to the section of the parade. Next month we have our Star City extraveganza with a parade and small celebration. And yes, they throw out candy there too! We love all the free entertainment around here!



Not the best picture of the kids, but they really did enjoy the evening! When we got home Bailey helped me decorate a cake for Trent for Father's day and she said "Mom, this was the best night ever!"






And this is how they roll... here in Idaho!




Next celebration (besides Father's Day tomorrow), fourth of July, Trent's favorite holiday! Let the fireworks begin!
