Independence Day this year was spent in Richfield. Since we have moved to Sevier Valley we haven't left it very much due to the pregnancy and my lack of wanting to sit in a car. I don't know why sitting in the car is so uncomfortable and sitting on the couch is so comfortable but that is the way it is. We heard Richfield has a big to do on the 4th so we decided why not stay and enjoy the festivities.
We went to the parade and we made it just in time to see the Fighter Planes fly over. That was awesome, Sawyer especially enjoyed the "panes". It was so hot but fortunately we had a bit of a cloud cover during the parade. Sawyer got a LOT, and I mean a LOT of candy. People were really considerate when it came to getting candy. People wouldn't let their children run down after the floats trying to get the most candy and people only let their children collect candy in the spot in front of them. It was nice because at other parades kids chase the floats down to get the most candy.
After the parade we headed up to the park to check out the venues. It was so crowded but it was fun to get out and mingle. We decided to go to Wingers to eat so we could get some air conditioning before heading back to the park for the fish grab. We were pretty excited about the fish grab we didn't know what to expect but we had heard it was hilarious to watch.
When we got back to the park people were swarming around the fish ponds. The kids were just itching to get in the water and catch some of those fish. It was pretty funny. Sawyer really wanted to get in but he would have died. No joking. The kids were on those fish like a fat kid on cake. After most of the kids were out Sawyer got in the ponds and swam a little. He was really upset when we made him get out. We came home and played in the water though, well Sawyer did and Travis did.
