Provo Parades!!

Yesterday was my first experience with a Provo parade! People make fun of Vernal parades but oh honey....Provo might have you beat. This parade was "The Parade of Lights". Once we got there i was starting to get very excited by how many people were piled on the street. There was everything you could think of, dancing ice cream cones, karate kids running all over the place, dance teams, fire trucks all over, police men showing off their motorcycles :), zumba classes dancing down the street to advertise, the air force, community queens and princesses, EVEN A HERD OF LAMAS!!!!!! what the lamas were actually THERE for i have no idea! BUT! it was pretty funny. But i honestly don't know why provo called it a "Parade of LIGHTS".....there was not ONE single string of lights!if there wasn't street lights lit you wouldn't be able to see the people in the parade! i was so disappointed! where is this town Christmas season spirit! there wasn't even a santa!! what is the point of standing in the FREEZING cold for nothing?! and then when i said something everyone just said, "what did you expect it to be?" oh i don't know i kind of expected it to be a parade of LIGHTS!! so i guess my new plan is to always be present for the same four fire trucks, thirty horses, and ten tractors in Vernal. At least the Vernal parade if lights has some Christmas spirit and LIGHTS!
