We just love PG Strawberry Days in June. There are so many activities that just make you love this town and the people that live here. Every year there is a children's parade, and each stake/ward is asked to participate. Even though there isn't much of a crowd along the sides, the kids love dressing up and walking the short distance. This year's theme was "Dream Big"...so our ward decided to have the kids dress up as their favorite hero. (Thank goodness we have a plethora of costumes here and the kids could dress up just how they wanted.) We were grateful to our Grammee for being there to cheer us on...especially since it was during the week when we had 4 cousins staying with us. The weather was quite chilly that night, so the popsicles weren't as big of a hit as in years past. But the kids also get a ticket to the PG Rodeo that night (which we still haven't been too...I know gasp), and a carnival ticket. Which I'm not a huge fan of, but we always go and ride a few rides and get a few treats.
It was a challenge to get a picture of all 9 kids that I brought..but here is a group shot. Brady was a PG Football player, Zack was a soccer player, Taylor was a college graduate, and Mitchell was a dinosaur...whatever works huh?
Jace was a Ninja warrior...we also had bubbles for the kids to blow and play with during the parade...works well with the dagger I think.
Tanner, my nephew, wanted to dress up as a Bakugan guy.
Hannah wanted to be a chef...(this was Rachel's first choice, since that is what she wants to be when she grows up)...luckily Rachel changed her mind.
We just dressed Bella up a princess, she wasn't too happy with the cold wind.
Rachel decided to be a cowgirl.
Here are some pictures from the carnival. Rachel and Hannah are in the front car, Jace is in the 3rd car back. I didn't get any pictures of the B and Z...since they decided to go and ride all the scary rides by themselves. (But their tummies sure paid for it later ;-)
