Parade!

June 9, 2012

We decided to support our elementary school and be in the city parade instead of watching it this year. The girls were so excited! They decorated their scooters and helped Jacob decorate his little bike for the event. Tyler brought his ripstick - he and Jacob chased each other along the whole route. Our only mistake was that we underdressed. The wind was strong and cold. Emma was the only one who wore a jacket, and she let Kaylee wear it half the time.

When it was our school's turn to go, Emma said, "I can't believe we're in a real parade!"

Besides the fact that we were all frozen by the end, we had a great time walking/riding, waving, and seeing a few friends and family along the way.

After we finished, Brian went ahead to get the car. When he picked us up, he had the heat cranked up. It felt so good to feel the warmth!

We came home and had banana splits for a treat, because it tastes good even when you're cold. I think ice cream always tastes good! We all changed into warm pjs on this June night so that we could eat our treat comfortably. The kids went to bed and asleep right after we were done. 

I'm ready to call it a day too!
