Days of '47 Parade

 

Friday was the Days of '47 Parade downtown.  We all went down to support Els.

This parade is on TV.How fabulous is Andrea?

The kids were somewhat less than impressed with a parade that didn't throw candy.  There were lots of impressive floats, however.  And the pioneer theme, and horses, and marching bands were great.  

Abe took George and Peter and Greta to the zoo this week.

The kids are really into reptiles these days so they spent a lot of time in the Reptile House at the zoo.

A mamma and baby gorilla.

Greta looks a little unsure...

I love this picture of the sister performing missionaries and Sister Jones, the seamstress, and Sister Crockett.

One of the highlights of the last couple weeks was going to see Guys and Dolls at Hale Center Theater.  Several years ago Clark and Bethany LOVED being a part of Bluffdale Arts production of this play.  Ever since then it's one of our favorites.  Hale Center did a great job and we loved it.

Monday evening we caught the closing night of Herriman's Newsies.  If you recall, Bethany, Cannon, and George were all originally cast for the summer of 2020.  But Covid happened and schedules didn't work out for this summer.  We felt pretty spoiled getting to see so much live theater in one week!

Four of the Fox sibling couples enjoyed a wonderful dinner to celebrate Stuart's 50th birthday.  I've said this before and since we're heading to the reunion right now, I'm sure I'll say it plenty more, but it has been so enjoyable to get to strengthen these relationships over he years.  When in-laws marry into a family there area whole lot of new personalities to get to know and love.  It takes time and can be uncomfortable at times.  These relationships are so treasured and are well worth any time and effort they've taken.
