On July 19th we had the opportunity to view the floats that would be in the Day's of '47 Parade. This was our first visit and it was amazing. Were were able to see the floats up close and talk to the creators. We learned some very interesting facts. For example the float pictured below (we called it the cricket float) had 163 crickets in it, one for each year since 1847, and on the float itself, there were 114 crickets, one for each year since statehood. The creators had given them a handout with a list of things to look for. The kids had a blast looking for those items.
here are some more of our favorites. Livi loved the large fish and thought it would be great to catch one that large.
James and Livi wore matching shirts and Livi wanted to walk along side the float in the parade since she matched.
The "How to Train Your Dragon" float was beautifully done as well.
It was an enjoyable trip. Cami and her friend got their face painted & Livi got a balloon animal.
The hardest part was trying to figure out which float was our favorite so we could place our vote.
