24th of July Parade in Washington - The 10,000 Stripling Warriors

 This is the 24th of July Parade in Washington, My Husband Andy and His brother Kevin and some added friends and Family Jade Glazier on the horse and Thatcher on his pony and Clancy which is Kevin's son was also in this entry. The Entry was called the 2000 stripling warriors. Andy is Driving the Chariot at the beginning of the Warriors and then there was scouts in the back then behind them was his brother Kevin Driving This buggy with President Elder Holland and  then the Missionaries was behind them, it turned out to be wonderful. When Elder Holland got to where we was at in the parade on the side of the road he put his hands out to Kody and asked him if he wanted to come and ride in the buggy with him and so I put him up there and he sat on his lap and rode in the parade with him for at least another block and then Thatcher brought him back to me on his horse. I think that was the most awsomest thing that happened, I wish that I wasn't videoing the parade just then and I should have taken a picture of Kody on his lap but I do have it all on Video. It turned out awesome. Then at the the End Kevin took the Hollands back to their hotel and some of my kids go to take a picture with them on the buggy it was awesome..
 This is Kevin getting ready to go pick up Elder Holland from his hotel he had to fix a few things before he was ready to go, but I think that his horse looked really pretty on his buggy they go very well together..
This is Jade Glazier he is one of Kevin and Andy's really good friend that was an out rider in the parade for Kevin..

The Kids were all posing for the camera so we took some pictures they turned out very cute..


This Is Andy Driving the Chariot my niece Emma asked me after he had passed where Uncle Andy was and I told her that he was Driving the Chariot and she said where I didn't see him I just seen somebody in a Costume and I said ya that was Uncle Andy, she was just laughing because she didn't think that is was him..



This is when Elder Holland asked Kody to come ride with them and so I put him on but I didn't get a picture of him on there I need to see if somebody else did and then I will add it to  this post I was really awesome that he asked him to ride with him. He is a awesome man and is well loved in this family of ours, he always has good things to say and is a good part of our lives we all love him dearly..


This is when the kids wanted to stand next to the sign at the Cemetery and get their picture taken I wish we would have had all the rest of the kids but they weren't all there..

This is when Kevin took The Hollands back to their Hotel and Ann went with most of the kids and got to take a picture with them, I wish that I would have known I would have went to and Had my picture taken with them also, but what and honor to be able to be around such a wonderful couple and an awesome apostle of the church of Latter Day Saints, at Least I have the picture with Kyle in it to be able to remember for always.. Thanks Ann and Kevin for the Picture..What a wonderful 24th of July to Celebrate with such a man like this.. Wonderful Day..
