We wanted to go watch the Days of '47 Parade but you have to sleep out to get a good spot. So Ben casually suggested that Laney and he could sleep out on the road....I don't think he thought it through or maybe he was half joking....i don't know, but Laney heard him say it and was all for it. And since he had said it, he could take it back.
So Ben and Laney ended up out on the sidewalk on 9th south and 4th east.
Ben said they didn't get to sleep very much since there were a million cars driving by all night long. And the people in a tent next to them played loud music and had a visit from the police (I don't remember why...). But they had a fun daddy/daugther experience.
Laney playing games on Ben's Palm (little e-mail as Laney and Ty call it)
Ben bought a cool light sword for Laney that she loves and holds every night before she falls afsleep.
Then in the morning, Tiff picked Ty and me up and we brought some donuts, chocolate milk, water, grapes and other yummy stuff that we ate for breakfast.
Laney eating her donut.
Here's President Thomas S. Monson. He was turning his head the other the whole time he drove past us, so Laney didn't see him. Ben took Laney and the ran up ahead so that she could see him.
Governor Huntsman and his scary looking wife.
My favorite float - Noah's Ark. It was so cute, with water coming out of the elephant's trunks.
Ty wanted to be wrapped in a blanket for some strange reason....the rest of us were sweating bullets.
Tiff being stabbed by Laney. Braiden watching as this horrific event is taking place...
Laney and Ty playing on the blanket.
Laney and Braiden chillin' while the rest of us were packing our things up.

What would I do without you guys here to keep me entertained? You guys are the best! Thanks for letting us always come and tag along whatever fun things you guys are doing!
You guys know how to have a blast! I think that it is STELLAR that you guys did that! (Did you like my big word STELLAR?)lol anyways I think that it would be scary but fun to sleep out on the street the night before!
What a fun thing! I'm glad Ben and Laney braved the scary SL crowds to sleep out! We went a few years ago, but didn't sleep out, and sat on the hot pavement with no shade, but got to see President Hinckley...I think he was also in that same silver convertable as P. Monson. Also, funny comment on Huntman's wife....!~
What fun! You guys look like you had an awesome time! I love your comments, you totally crack me up!
