Nibley Heritage Days

Each June our city of Nibley holds Heritage Days that is a week filled with fun family activities. Our family has loved celebrating this week each year, and this year was no exception. We live in a great place! There was sidewalk chalk, the swimnight that gets rained out every year, the Mayors dinner, the Jon Schmidt concert and the fireworks...these we enjoyed but didn't get pictures of.
The girls got to ride in the parade as princesses.

The boys got to ride in Grandma and Grandpa Reeder's jeep in the parade to advertise the carnival. They decided it is much more fun to be in the parade than be a spectator on the side.

Most of us participated in the fun run....Sara, Austin and Jaren did the 1 mile-Todd, Nikki and Hayden did the 5k.

Todd rode the mechanical bull at the carnival and I'm hoping he never decides to be a cowboy...one turn and he was off!!

Grandma, Terri and Misty set up the booth to sell our goods and raise money for our Relay For Life team.

We enjoyed the bike parade, which actually started off the week. Nikki was in charge of this event and part of the Saturday Carnival. It made the week seem even more hectic to help out, but we enjoy the week so much we felt like we needed to support the cause.

Of course the biggest highlite for us is the children's play which was "Sleeping Beauty, Western Style". The kids practice for a week and a half each day and then perform two nights in the ampitheater at a park close to home. Austin was cast as Territorial Govenor Jim Longhorn, Hayden played the part of Wing Ding Lee, Master chef of Hong Kong, Sara was a villager and Sadie was in the Little Lark group. They all did such a great job and we love watching them perform.

This week is a great way to kick off our summer....can't wait until next year!
