Fiesta Days 2009

Fiesta Days is our town's summer celebration and festival. There is the carnival, food, parades and activities all week long. This year Dennis decided he was going to run in the 10k Speedy Spaniard. This was his first 10k, and he wasn't sure he could run that far, but he'd been training, and really wanted to try. So we got up extra early to be there when he crossed the finish line.


His goal was to finish in less than an hour, and his actual time was 52:30. It's hard to see, but in this picture he is looking up to see what his time was! I'd rather die than run, but I'm proud of Dennis!! Go hon!


After the race, we walked over to the annual football booster pancake breakfast, then waited for the parade to start.



I don't know what we'll do next year, Michael won't be playing football and Ammon will be playing for the new high school. There won't be any reason to go to the breakfast and I'm thinking there won't be anyone in the parade for us to watch. We almost didn't stay for the parade this year, but we had to see Michael on the drill team float. Yes, I have my third child on the Spanish Fork Las Chalitas. Not really, Michael is a manager for the drill team. hmmm, easy class, surrounded by cute girls, sounds like a smart kid to me!
