Parade

Our ward had a celebration in honor of Pioneer Day - breakfast, stories, singing, games, and a kids' parade. Yep, breakfast. That means that activities commenced at 8:00 a.m. Paul and D managed to make it out of the house around 8:00. Even though I was up and ready to go, I didn't leave until 9:00 when I finally woke up lazybones Snacks. So I missed most of the festivities, but made it in time for the most important part - the parade. All the kids decorated their bikes or dressed as pioneers and then they put on a small parade around the parking lot. I am incredibly and admittedly biased, but D's bike was the sweetest ride there.

Here he is tuning up his bike.

All tuned up and ready to GO

Here are all of the kids lining up. Even though it was announced one second before that it wasn't a race but a parade, as soon as the starting bell rang all the kids took off as fast as they could go!

Here is Snacks waiting for the action to start.

Now tell me that that's not the coolest bike out there. He's even got a bodyguard! Go D!

Here is Snacks watching the fun parade. For about 15 seconds. Make that 10.

Proof that D's ride was super cool - you could spot his little white balloons a mile away!

At the end of the parade all of the kids let balloons go.

D wondering if the balloons are going to the moon.

Here's the rear view of his bike. And the very best part of his decorating...

he taped his toy whale and shark onto his bike and put red and blue ribbons on them!!!!!
