Thursday I learned about a Little Red Wagon Parade. Friday we created this:
Credits: Monty fixed the handle and sides, Jaida helped add the tissue paper, Grandpa Sitthichai made the dragon fly, Grandma Sitthichai helped with the tire covers, taping the tissue underneath and tending the kids, Misty created our signs and Kayla helped add the stuffed animals.
About 16 or so entries paraded down main street in front of 50 or so people (maybe there were more).
Kayla LOVED throwing candy and would yell, "Candy, candy, get your candy!" Jaida stood on the other side of the float saying, "Kayla stop talking, it's embarrassing." Joey was a head of us the entire time riding his big wheel. He's still talking about going to the parade again tomorrow. :)
All our hard work paid off with 3rd place and $50!
Hey Tanya, CUTE float. I bet you had so much fun making it too! And $50 to top it off :)
ReplyDeleteTanya, you are the best mom! I love reading things about your kids!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christy!
ReplyDeleteJulie, we had a great time, I'm hoping they remember this for a long time. Monty said there were about 20 people in the parade and 30 people watching. :) hahaha, that's kind of how it felt, but it was the first year... We watched the parade on the video Mom took and the parade lasted 4 minutes (max). People were really creative though and there were some REALLY cute "floats".
