Usually the 24th is a big party and sleepover on the parade route in Salt Lake. We arrive on the 23rd and hang out, play games, and munch on snacks until the early hours of the morning. Sleep through the marathon (sorry if you're a runner in it) and get woken up by the parade later on.
But the city has started getting grumpy and being mean about people camping out and making all these crazy insane rules... Anyway... breathe... Moving on. Anyway needless to say we didn't want to deal with that again so... We had a giant sleepover at my mother-in-law's house the night of the 23rd, we stayed up till the wee hours of the morning like usual. Had omelets the next morning then hiked up to Doughnut Falls up Cottonwood Canyon, then went to the Days of 47 Rodeo that night :)
Monday night most of the adults stayed up till 2:30am I fell asleep on the couch at about 1 (I had a sore throat). Then we had make your own omelets, muffins and fruit the next morning. Then we all got ready to go to on our hike.
The weather was perfect :) just overcast enough that we stayed cool. Then as we got back to the cars it started to down pour so we ate our lunches in the cars. Then we all went our separate ways and Curtis, Nan and I went to get ready for the rodeo.
