Parade Day

We sat over by the fire hall to watch the parade, this is Parker driving Bob's tractor with the float on it.

This is how the float looked from the rear, of course, most of the kids were facing the other way.

So, I borrowed a picture from Dianne's blog where their faces showed.  It turns out we got first place in the private float division.

Since this is throw back Thursday, here is a picture of the last float we did in 2008.  Boy have the kids grown!

This pair of pirates really had nice outfits and sure looked the part.

This fire engine has been in every parade for as long as I can remember.  They give rides in it at different events in Castle Rock.

This Plymouth has been in the fair parade before, I found a picture of it in the 2010 parade.

When the parade was over, we went over to the fairgrounds, the first thing that caught our eye was the cross cut saw demonstration.

Then they had speed climbing, I believe the guy in the green shirt made it up to the red mark in 5.9 seconds.

That guy in the blue shirt was pretty good, he had quite a few throws in the center.

From there, we went looking for Michelle and our friend Coleen's kid's pigs.  Before we were done, we found the pigs, their daughter Christy, Coleen and Matt.

We went into the youth and adult crafts to find the entries by people we knew.  First, we ran into Pastor Pam and Don, there was Dianne and family looking at the twins and Rielee's awards.  Harper was the first to spot us and ran right over.

Ava came over and took me over so I could see her ribbon, then she went and got Vera.

As we were going out, I took a picture of this new feature, they made a paved path down the hill and had it landscaped nicely.

We are headed home after a big day!
