One of our favorite community events is the parade held each year. For a "small" town we sure do have a lot of parade! Two and a half hours in the hot sun...whew! Thank heavens for shade umbrellas!
As our girls get older their excitement increases. This year was no exception. Lindy's favorite part was little Sadie. A total stranger lent Lindy her puppy for several minutes. Lindy was in HEAVEN! Now, if we can only bide our time by "borrowing" dogs now and then we might have all the benefits of having a dog with none of the drawbacks! (Sweet plan!)
Ellie's favorite part was the floats. She was literally yelling at me to "hurry up and take a picture" of each and every float that passed us by. Her favorite was Hansel and Gretel's gingerbread house. My favorite? The CV2nd Ward float, of course! 
Here's Ian teaching the girls to clap along to the hot and sweaty marching bands. 
Jody and I tried to keep little Curtis in the shade as much as possible. He did great. He was kept from taking a decent nap by all the clapping and cheering (mostly by his mom) but was still a relatively happy baby. So, all things considered, he had a great first parade day.

My favorite was also the CV 2nd float! Awesome! Way to go float committee on getting 3rd place...that is quite an accomplishment! Your kids looked so adorable and festive...it was fun to sit with you guys!
Im telling Autumn to steal that picture of you for the Sista hood!
Oh crap. I keep forgetting about the picture. That's a HORRIBLE one. But then again, I think they are ALL horrible of me. Sheesh.
