We Love a Parade!!!

Well, we only like going to the Marysville Strawberry Festival Parade!!! We go every year and it was fun as usual this year. We sat with our friends Jane & Collin Downey which made it more fun, especially since they had come out really early and saved us good seats!! It was also really fun to see several of the youth from our church playing in marching bands and on the Strawberry Festival float as a Princess. We also saw one of Aidan's school classmates in a fancy car advertising a costume shop. Here's some pics of our favorites this year!

The Princesses from the different hawaiian Islands were on horseback - their costumes were gorgeous and the flowers were breathtaking!!! They were new to our parade this year and it was such a treat to see them - so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!The Western Vigilantes are a yearly favorite!

We always love the Seafair Pirates, but the Pirates of Treasure Island have much better costumes!

She came right up to Collin and I don't know what she said, but it she was quite intense about it!
Who doesn't love clowns?We love the bagpipes!

I don't remember where this group is from, but they've come for the last few years and these things they spin are amazing - They had more last year, but still very impressive!!Mason did so much better then we thought he'd do. . .he sat on Delvin's lap the whole time, captivated by what was going on. The ending of the parade was anticlimatic, we didn't even realize it was over, once we realized it, we walked down to the end of the route where the firework display was and watched. Mason kept saying "oooo" or "oh wow" it was so funny! All in all it was a good parade and of course we'll be back next year!!!!
