On Friday I was super nervous what kind of weather we'd be having on Saturday for the parade. I told the kids that I'd take them rain or shine. Thank you Jesus for giving us shine. :)
I called Grandma Sandy and Papa Ken that morning to see if they'd want to sit with us. The kids thought it was a great idea. Tracy and her kids were in the parade, so we were happy to save them a spot.
It was cute - Natey woke up Saturday morning and was in a panic because "WHAT IF DAWSON HAS TO WALK IN FRONT OF A FIRE TRUCK????". Dawson isn't a fan of loud noises and Natey was so worried that his buddy's parade experience would be ruined due to a fire truck. Luckily, Dawson wasn't near a fire truck.
How about some visual aids. Here the kids are waiting for the parade to start.
I'm telling you, Jack is a total gamer. He's playing Chuzzle on my phone.
Here is the Madison High School Marching Band. They sounded great! I really love the bands.
The Rost girls made appearances at different times in the parade. Amber stood with us until Shayla went by. I love me some Amber.
Check out this cool truck. I don't know who owns it, but it's awesome!
The Dueul High School band was there too, and not that I have interest in them, but I loved their outfits the most. :)
The families of the 211th walked in the parade. I think we got a half a bag of candy from them. The kids L*O*V*E*D it! Here are Tracy and Caymen.
And Katie and Braelyn.
Remember when the Shriners had those itty bitty motorcycles? Well they are movin' on up. I wonder how many hours they spent practicing this?Natey's right, totally cool!
Later that day, Tracy and I went to Sioux Falls. I had a blast. I even got my nails done. Other than doing them myself, I've never had them done 'professionally'. It was fun - and now I have blue tips. :) Check out Tracy's blog to find out about her parade experience.

"I've never had them done 'professionaly'"...don't you remember when we used to drive back and forth to Watertown to have our nails done? I think it was the summer that Matt and Shanna got married.
Those shriners looked so cool. Wish we could have seen it.
Your nails are awesome!!! I think I need to go back and get BLUE. FUN!
No photo of your manicure?
Yes, the Shriners were cool.

What fun to spend time in SF with Tracy and get your nails done too...very cool!
