Rodeo Parade

Today was the rodeo in Livermore. It's a pretty big deal, like the Strawberry Days rodeo in Utah. It is also going on tomorrow. This morning was the parade that is part of the celebration. It was downtown so we walked (I love being so close to everything!) and we got there about half an hour before it started. It was packed!! We found a spot in the shade thank goodness because it was HOT. This was Ryder's first parade, and Easton's too of course. Before it started, they were handing out stickers and things to the kids. Ryder got a sheriff''s badge, some stickers, and a rubber bracelet. He thought that was pretty awesome. It was fun and we stayed for about half an hour of it, but it was so hot we ended up leaving before it was over. As we left we passed all the firemen in their gear walking in front of the fire engines. I bet they were ROASTING in their gear! Ryder loved seeing the fire trucks and hearing their horns as we left. Later today, we were driving to Costco and the car said it was 108 degrees outside! I believe it, it was miserable! Let's hope today was just an exception because I read that the average highs during the summer in Livermore are in the high 80's. We went to the library today since we wanted to do something indoors. The library here is huge and really nice! It even has a cafe/deli inside. We have gone there a lot since we've moved here.
