Forest Festival 2009

Yesterday we went to the Forest Festival Parade to watch all of David's family and Jared walk by. It was a lot of fun, but HOT, HOT, HOT - we all got a little bit burned.
Brian, Becky, Crystal and Sara came down to watch the parade with us (by the way, I even got CHRIS to come - it's a miracle!)
Allison got a Pinwheel and LOVED it!

David's family was towards the beginning of the parade - David was a previous Paul Bunyon (the boys version of the queen of Forest Festival), so he got to ride in a truck with a bunch of other past Paul Bunyons. I thought it was pretty cool they let his entire family ride along, too.
Jared's band was towards the end of the parade (he's in the picture somewhere). They didn't walk past until the parade had been going for an hour and twenty minutes. So, after his group passed, we quickly packed up our stuff and headed home - there was still a LOT to come and we were totally done!
I don't think we'll ever get Chris to go to another parade, but we really enjoyed ourselves and LOVED having family to watch for...

It was so fun to see you guys at the parade! And tonight at our house, too! Thanks for coming, and for the tea set! It's so great. My kids are constantly having tea parties.
