Western Days Parade

The boys were both in the Western Days parade here in town this Memorial Day weekend. Ethan marched with his preschool and Seth rode along on Katherine's Ag Day float. They both looked great! We had fun watching the boys from the sidelines with the Howells, and after the parade the Howell and Gillis families came over for a little BBQ and pool party.

Here is the gang waiting for the parade to begin. Emmy colored with chalk while Allie Dog surveyed the scene. We soon learned she does not like high school bands!

The preschool float was inspired by the story "Zin, Zin a Violin". They had flag and baton twirlers, an orchestra section that rode on a float, and a marching band. Ethan was one of the band members. He marched the entire 4 mile parade route holding his little trumpet made from paper towel rolls.


Lucky Seth got to ride the entire parade route. They had so much fun on the Ag Day float passing out fresh produce from the elementary ag farm along the way. We got an artichoke! :)


When Randy picked Seth up at the end of the parade route. He was carrying this huge turnip! What are we supposed to do with that?!?!

The Shriners are always a crowd favorite!

As always, we had a great time at the pool. Here is Randy pushing Kami across the pool while Seth and Gavin cruise in the other direction.

The big swimmers jumped in the deep end!

Gavin and Austin swam side by side.
It was such a nice day!
