DRAPER DAYS!!!

Draper Days-Year 10 (at least we think so.)  We know that we have pictures of Nick at Draper Days the year he was born so that's 10 years.  Where does the time go? 

So my parents backyard is right on Draper Park and that makes Draper Days a high priority for the Simister Clan.  This year was no exception.  I am going to tell the story of the day in pictures.

The day started out strong with dinner and playing in Grandma and Grandpa Simister's backyard.  (That means some serious Jeep driving for the kids) :))




We then moved on to the very exciting Birthday Celebration for Jaxson (6) and Lincoln (2).

After the Birthdays we headed over to Draper Park.  It's not a long walk, just around the corner, and some years we have actually cut through the pasture.  At the park we headed straight to the rides.  Now these are new this year, usually the biggest ride is the train.  These were very exciting for the kids.  The little kids went on the roller coaster and the boats.  The bigger kids braved the spinney ride.  Make sure to look at the pictures very carefully to see who the 2 biggest kids are.  :))
 


Nick and Savannah talked Shawn and I into going on the Hammer.  Let me tell you, I AM TOO OLD FOR THE HAMMER.  AND SO IS SHAWN.  Not a good idea.
The kids then moved on to the train.  SO DANG CUTE!!!

The kids favorite thing at Draper Days is the free activities.  This year was no exception.  We also get to listen to a great band while we enjoy our Draper Days Festivities.
We then headed home for Smores and Fireworks.  We watch them launch fireworks right over my parents house.  Its better than going to ANY park to watch.  What a terrific night!!!
