We had a great Holiday Weekend. Friday night our friends invited us to go to the Stadium of Fire with them. Saturday morning we woke up early and at about 7:30 we walked over to where the parade was. On a normal Saturday we sleep till 9 or 10 and for sure never leave the house before noon! 
Kenidee loved the parade. She would get so excited when the marching bands would come through. She would start dancing to all the music.
She looks better in Mommy's glasses!
the two cutest people in the world!
Now were at the Stadium of Fire. Our seats were at the very top of the stadium, past the nose bleed section..., which was actually great because we could stand up and sit on the wall behind us. These are our cheesy faces...

The dancers were all very good. At this particular time the dancers on the stage in the middle of the field were dancing and jumping rope with fire! The huge flag you see in the top left corner of the picture was very torn up and ragged. It has been used at the Stadium of Fire for the last 13 years and it hung in Salt Lake during the Olympics. The flag is usually used by the dancers and it covers the entire field. Tonight for its last use they let it fly freely...

Kenidee was mesmerized by the fireworks.
This was the last time the huge flag was ever going to be used. After it hung freely for all to see, the Color Guard from the US Army walked it from the parking lot to this cauldron in center field.
They then placed it in the cauldron and properly retired it. It was a very emotional experience. We literally felt as if a loved one had died and was being put to rest. It was so incredible to see and be a part of!
They first lit the fire for the cauldron which then lit the flame on the torch that looks like the one the Statue of Liberty is holding.
More of the pretty fireworks...
The firework show was kind of short, but it was very cool!
of course, little Missy fell asleep before the fireworks were over...

How fun! I am glad Kenidee enjoyed the marching bands in the parade. Last Easter we took Emma to a little parade, and they had a small band, she was screaming the whole time because she thought they were going to get her! :-) It looks like you guys had fun at the Stadium of Fire!
I just realized kenidee's shoes looked awfully familiar! I am glad you are putting them to good use!
