Labor Day Festivities

I love Labor Day in Payson!! Payson celebrates Onion Days over Labor Day weekend and have some fun activities. Friday afternoon, the girls and I headed down to the carnival. Kylee was a little apprehensive about riding some of the rides and I was hesitant to put her on when Jared wasn't with us. I have put her on some rides before because she has said she wants to go, but once she gets on, OH NO!!! GET ME OFF!!! So, we just walked around, enjoyed the atmosphere of a carnival and ate some ice cream from the ice cream man. Both Kylee and Jayce got those rocket popsicles. They only had them in sour and it was nasty. The girls ate them all gone, but I sure didn't like it. I got a coconut type thing. It was Delish!!!

Friday night we had both families over for a BBQ to end the summer. It was so fun! Friday night, Payson does fireworks as part of the Onion Days celebrations. They are some fantastic fireworks and we can sit on our front lawn or back lawn and enjoy them. Jayce fell asleep during the fireworks and Emily was already sleeping and slept right through them. How lovely for me to enjoy the evening!! Thanks family for coming and celebrating with us.

On Monday, there was a parade. Jared and I have never been to the parade because we are usually always gone on Labor Day. We headed over. The weather had been kind of stormy and the sky was dark, but they were still doing the parade so we headed over. My parents drove down to come with us. We saw maybe 45 minutes to 1 hour of the parade and then the rains came. Oh, what a day. The girls and I came home, put on dry clothes, made some yummy popcorn, and watched Sound of Music! Kylee loved the show. Jared said it was good he had to work in the basement because he wasn't so into that show! I need to take some pictures of the basement. He is almost done putting up the drywall. It looks so different!

We hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!
