The kids had the opportunity to participate in the Days of 47 Childrens Parade this year, and they had a great time. The theme of the parade was the pioneering spirit then and now. Our stake's theme was how music was part of that pioneering spirit back then, as well as today. They were a little band. Before the parade, we took the kids to the church and helped them make their instruments- out of pools noodles. They were actually very clever, and turned out pretty cute. Camille played a french horn, Morgan a flute, and the Boys trumpets.
The parade route was only about 5 blocks long, which was good, because the little ones probably couldn't have gone much more.
What a great experience for the kids. They had a lot of fun. I guess that the stakes only get a turn to be in it every 8 years or so, so I was glad they got a chance to participate. The way the kids are all growing up so fast, it won't be too long before they are out of primary!

very neat to be in a parade as a kid. i bet they will remember it.
Looks like a lot of fun. Hope life is going well for you.
That float is awesome, and I love the instruments! I am so amazed with the different talents that people have. I can't imagine designing and making that float, or thinking of those instruments. Way cute.
