Troy Strawberry Festival Parade

Today was the Strawberry Festival Parade in our town. It's the first time Drew and the kids have gone and many, many years since I last went. The past few years our church has decorated a float to include in the parade to promote our upcoming Vacation Bible School. This year Drew was really involved in helping to create the float so we were anxious to see it.

Ready for the parade to begin

I brought Jenna's bubbles to help keep her occupied while we waited for the parade to start.

Grant played on the blanket for a little bit, but now that he's mobile, he's not as content to just sit in one spot. :)

My parents joined us at the parade.

The kiddos and me

Grant had the best seat and a great view! ;)

The sign for our church

My cousin drove the truck pulling the float and his wife and boys rode with him.

Our space themed float - the VBS theme this year is Operation Space.

Don't you love the fog effect?!

I don't know what it is, but Grant always falls quietly to sleep in Drew's arms! He doesn't make a peep - just lays his head down and is out. Now, when he's in my arms it's another story...haha! Just glad he'll take a good nap for one of us when we're out. :) He took a pretty good nap - even slept through a few loud bands.

Jenna gave the strawberry lady a "high five". :)

It was the perfect day for the parade - perfect weather and a great location. We were planning on going over to the festival after the parade, but the kids were tired and hungry and the temperature was in the 90s by then. It quickly became VERY hot. So we decided just to head home, let the kids eat and get a nap, and then play out back in their pool. :) It was a great day!
