This week was the "Lehi Roundup" - the City's summer festival. They had different activities going on all week, and we had fun participating in a few of them. Thursday night we went to the Horse Parade; there were all kinds of horses, some plain, some fancy (we even saw one that was all painted pink!), some with just one rider, others pulling a whole wagon. Being there made me realize how much of a farming community we live in - even if our little neigh-borhood (sorry, I couldn't resist) is more the suburb type.
Here's one little patriotic pony with his family that we saw:
And here's a bigger version:
We all had fun watching the parade,
especially Rylee! Her favorite part was the candy they threw. She's still talking about "Parade throwing candy! Hit my arm!"
(Check out her cowgirl boots for the occasion!)
Then on Saturday morning we went to the Grand Parade, which was more the traditional type with floats and marching bands and such.
They threw candy at this one too. And although Rylee's favorite part of both parades was the candy, she wasn't very good at actually getting any of it on her own. Even when it did land at her feet (or hit her arm), the bigger kids were much faster and she almost always came up empty handed. This picture is of her returning empty handed from a candy run.
Lucky for her, I wound up being the mom who jumped out onto the street to grab some candy for her every now and then!
Cailyn liked the candy too...Rylee gave her her lollipop stick after she finished it and there was just a little bit of sugary goodness left.
Cailyn got pretty tired and wound up falling asleep in the stroller with a bottle of juice - which, by the way, is a new thing for her as of this week. She really seems to like the Gerber juice and does pretty well holding the bottles herself.
After the parade, we stayed for the other festivities, including a petting zoo...
...and a pony ride...
...and more petting zoo...
At some point, Katie and Ava came to join us. I tried to put a video of the girls dancing as they watched the performers on stage here, but for some reason it wound up at the bottom of the post and I can't move it...so watch it at the end!
They had lots of fun on different rides, including the blow up jumpy things and these swings - they went around in a circle.
In other news this week, I have moved Rylee into the guest bedroom for the time being. The plan is to get Rylee used to sleeping with the freedom of not being in a crib and Cailyn used to sleeping through the night in a crib before I get Rylee her own big girl bed and put them in the same room. So far, it's going pretty well...although the first night, Rylee managed to totally destroy the blinds in that room! But she's very excited about sleeping in her "big girl bed" and likes to shut the door "Rylee self" after I tuck her in for the night.

I'd planned on doing the letter of the week every Monday, but on Friday Rylee said she wanted to make a Bumble Bee B again, so I decided to go ahead with the next letter...
