  4. Yes i watched the parade! it was so fun! I think it was truly amazing! i loved it. Actually it was pretty much easy i don't know why. I have friends who slept there just for saving the spot to see the parade, it was kinda funny to see them suddenly while i was walking. But then i realized the best part of the parade was a little bit further. So i had to leave that spot and move looking for a better one. Luckily we easily see a good spot, it was a little bit sunny but we were in first line. The people behind us left the spot because someone told them they couldn't have a tend so when they come back we were there so they took the tend and put it away and had to sit behind us hahaha but they had chairs so we both have a good view of the parade. I loved the starwars part i think it was my favorite! just because i love starwars! and also BYU pet playing all over the place, was so fun and awesome! i loved the parade!

  6. The article talks about the 4th of July parade in Provo. Lots of people feel the parade is getting more intense every year. Watching the parade in Provo has become a traditional celebration for lots of families. And some people think Provo parade is the best. Yes! I did went to the parade on the 4th of July and I thought it was fun to sleep on the street. Last year, I saw lots of people sleeping and playing games on the street, and young people were dancing on the street until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. For me, it was just like a big public party that everybody can join in.

  7. I went to Yellowstone, so unfortunately I did not watch it. This article talks about the parade on July 4th. After several years, people will find it`s hard to find a spot along the route. The parade themes are Family and Love of Country.

  8. I watched the Freedom Festival Parade. I heared the parade start at 9am, so I and my friend went out at 8:30. When we arrived, there were already many people in the street. Also, it is hard to get a spot for watching because many people have already won it a good place, so I had to walk along the parade. It was so good. Although the weather was hot, it was fun!!

  9. I did not watch parade this year. But I did two years ago when I first moved to Provo. I went with my former roommate, Kim. We got there a little bit late and couldn't find the spot that the people in the ward saved. So we walked along the avenue, then friendly people make room for us. The parade was great. I enjoyed the happiness and excitement.

  10. Yes I watched the parade it was amazing. I really enjoyed this parade. Everything was organized. The most important thing that I enjoyed from this parade was when I saw the missionaries participating in this parade. Because it brought back memories when I was in the mission. I really loved this time. It was not hard to find a spot, everything was perfect.
