GOING AND . . . 

COMING

FLOATS

EVERY 24TH OF JULY...AKA PIONEER DAY,

THERE IS A HUGE PARADE IN SALT LAKE CITY

TO COMMEMORATE THE PIONEERS ENTERING

THE SALT LAKE VALLEY.

I TOOK THE BAGLEY KIDS A COUPLE OF

TIMES TO A "FLOAT PREVIEW."

IT WAS AT THE SALT PALACE ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO.

ON MONDAY, JULY 20, I TOOK COLE, JAYCIE,

PRESTON, AND ADDIE TO THE "FLOAT PREVIEW"

AT THE SOUTH TOWNE CENTER.

ADDIE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THINGS

BEING "TOO TIGHT."

CLOTHES, PONY TAILS, BUT ESPECIALLY SEAT BELTS.

NOW THAT IT'S THE LAW, EVERYONE IS

REALLY WORKING ON IT.

(ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ARE GOING TO 

DISNEYLAND IN SEPTEMBER.)

HERE'S A PICTURE BEFORE WE LEFT.

THERE WERE ABOUT 30 FLOATS TO SEE.

(WISH WE HAD FLOATS LIKE THESE IN

THE AF PARADES!)

CHILDREN'S CHOICE AWARD

This is why you shouldn't wear orange next to this float!
