We love Riverton City’s Town Days celebration. Every year we look forward to the parade on July 3rd. Who can’t appreciate watching all the royalties from surrounding towns waving and posing in their sleeveless gowns? We also saw a 30 member Senior Citizen’s singing group performing on a flat-bed trailer. Lizzie earned 5 bucks by going out on the parade route and dancing in the middle of one of the little girls’ dance routines. We laughed ‘til we cried. The vote is still out on the most ironic entry. Sean Thomas is running for Salt Lake County auditor. His slogan was pasted along the side of a stretch pickup truck: “I’ll make your dollars stretch.” Or, the Wal-mart float - a pirate ship. What do you think?
July 4th started with the Riverton Country Mile 10K and Fun Run (2.2 mile). Kirsten took 2nd place in the fun run behind a 13 year old boy, finishing in 16 minutes. Lizzie ran the 10K in 54 minutes with no training. Ian posted his best time in the 10K at 41:21. Paula finished in 48:45 - not bad.
After the race we headed up to the Lytle’s for the annual 4th of July breakfast. Grandma Spencer joined us and we had a great time and ate ourselves sick. At the end of the day, as always, we rounded out the holiday at the Riverton Park watching the best fireworks show in Utah.
