The Parade

Ivins has a Pioneer Day Parade and each of the wards is asked by the Stake President to enter something.  One year the dad's pushed kids in strollers; another year the kids rode bikes; last year the kids rode on a trailer pulled by a huge truck while spraying people with water.  This year the youth went on Trek so they were supposed to walk in their pioneer clothes for the parade...but none of them would do it.  We have 60 youth!!

The Primary, as always, were then asked to do something for the parade.  So the leaders bought balloons and had the kids ride their bikes with balloons attached.  Our kids were excited to be in the parade.  Courtney decorated her bike, all on her own, Monday afternoon and she was ready!  Ethan was going to rollerblade instead of biking but changed his mind.

We woke up to RAIN.  (The weather here has been crazy this month!) But by the time the parade began at 9:30, the skies were overcast and there was a slight breeze, but no rain.  The kids had a lot of fun, even if they did have to ride r.e.a.l.l.y...s.l.o.w.  At least it wasn't hot!
