Thursday evening was the 15th annual Homecoming Parade for the high school where I work. Being an assistant principal, I get to ride in the parade. And, as any proud mama would do, I had Gavin ride along with me. Dave showed up to act as the papparazzi for Gavin.The band marched and played.
The mayor rode in a Viper.
The boys King Court rode in a Ferrari. Yes. A Ferrari.
The assistant principals and principal in a Ford truck. I'm waiting for my convertible.
Don't worry, grandmas. The truck driver was going about 1 mph. And, when we had to make a turn, I sat in the bed of the truck, not on the edge.
Gavin enjoyed waving to the crowd and pointing out the things he knew the words for: dog, baby, hat, bike.
My boss's daughter, Taylor, brought her lab, Rio. Every time a fire engine sounded it's siren, Rio howled. (Taylor and Rio watched with Dave.)
Another shot of the Ferrari. In our parade, the cars go up the street, make a u-turn and drive back down the other side.
Following the parade, there is a big outdoor community pep rally followed by fireworks. We gathered back at the pep rally, but headed home before the fireworks. It was past Gavin's bedtime, and we had a big day on Friday with our flight to Denver.
Whew, what a weekend! Looks like everyone had a great time.
ReplyDeleteOK -- if you come and get the Vett -- you can ride in it for the next parade. It will be crowded with four adults and Gavin but sacrifices must be made to squeeze in.
