Strippling warriors in Bountiful days

 So I have to blog about the fantastic Bountiful days.  My mom had read in the paper that in the Bountiful days parade they were going to have 2000 young men march in the parade as the strippling warriors. So we decided to take all the grandsons up to see the warriors. Since we were going to be heading up to Bountiful I thought I would call in a favor from a great friend of ours "Beef "( Clint). He is a firefighter in bountiful so we asked him if we could do a tour of the fire station up there.   He is such an awesome guy and the boys loved it.

 Then while we were waiting for the parade to start we went over to the carnival and let the kids have some fun on the bounce houses and rides.

 Grandma got each grandson their very own stripling warrior action figure.
