Trout and Berry Days in Paradise

Our town of Paradise had it's annual Trout and Berry Days celebration yesterday. Cali May and Rachel entered their little horse cart in the parade. They had a great time throwing tootsie rolls and waving at all their friends. The horse did great too. You can see Elizabeth and Olivia watching them go by. Notice Olivia's hood - Elizabeth started filling it up with candy when she ran out of room in her pockets. Everyone had a great day especially Porter who we didn't see for about 2 hours. He was having so much fun running around fair days that he didn't even realize that we had gone home. It is only a mile to walk home so we weren't too worried. I went back about 2 hours later to find him and he was eating cotton candy (he said that the cotton candy man gave him a free sample), playing with a friend and just being a boy. I imagine that is just what Brig would have done when he was that age.
Their cart was decorated with flowers on the back and everyone thought their little horse was very cute.
This was a really neat mule train. There were a lot of fun entries in the parade. There were old cars, tractors, floats, fire engines, and horses.
Our neighbors have this draft horse wagon. It was right behind Cali May and Rachel in the Parade so on the way home from the parade, Brig took this picture.
This is the house Brig just finished building in North Logan. It turned out beautiful. We have a couple of families looking at it right now.

Scott, It is just under 5000 sq ft. It has a beautiflu rock fireplace in the great room that goes from floor to ceiling. There are a lot of nice things about it. Thanks for the comments. It is fun to see your blog and all the fun things you do with your family and cute grand children!
