On Monday July 20, 2009 after going to the temple open house we headed to Sandy to the South Town Expo Center where they were having a float preview for the Day's of '47 parade on the 24th of July. We got to vote for our favorite float at the end. Alex and Sam's favorite float was this boat below. My Grandma Welker, Aunt Louise and Uncle Walt were able to meet us at the float preview because they were in town to pick up Grandma and take her back to Washington, it was fun to see them for a little bit.
The floats were amazing, it will be fun to watch the parade on tv on the 24th to see all the floats.
The theme was "Catch the vision" So this float was Catch the vision with the 1st mormon missionary (who was Samuel H. Smith). They let us take a pictureon their float. In the parade they are going to have decendents of Samuel and Hyrum Smith ride on the float.
The kids all got balloons, they were fun to play with while we were there, then we got in the hot car and we kept hearing balloons pop in the back, so they didn't last long but they were fun.
