The One the Only...Steel Days.

Last year, my parents, Jody and I wanted to plan a trip to California to take the girls to Disneyland.  We narrowed in on a week in July.  It was the week of Steel Days.  For all of you who aren't aware of American Fork City's Festive Town Days...well that's Steel Days.  The whole sha-bang - a parade with marching bands, beautiful floats, waving queens, CANDY being thrown...a carnival, face painting, an outdoor concert and amazing fireworks.

Gracie LOVES Steel Days.

She has been asking about the event since Christmas.  We were hesitant to run the Disneyland idea by her....and no surprise she chose Steel Days!  If they ever need a poster child for Steel Days - she's the It-Girl.  I hear her talking to people in the other pew at church about Steel Days (in February - nonetheless.)

She's obsessed.

We went.

It was fabulous.  Steel Days always falls around my birthday.  It was a wonderful birthday weekend! 

When Sienna was in the Hospital, nurses kept the glowing light monitor on her toe to check her breathing/heart-rate...well now she thinks her toe is SO funny.  She shows it to us multiple times throughout the day.  And she's showing it off in this picture!  

My parents watched the girls while Jody and I enjoyed a night out to dinner for my Birthday!

The Parade!

 Gracie was nervous to go on the Ferris Wheel.  She came with me.  And we had a blast!  She said it was her favorite ride.

Although the Cater-Thriller would definitely be a close second!  Hold on tight, Gracie.

Sienna didn't sit still during the concert.  She had so much fun running around!  But she took a moment to relax with a snow cone.
