WInter Parade









Today was the annual Winter Parade for Lake Wylie Elementary and the Steele Creek area. There are floats representing the various classrooms at the school, as well as many area businesses. The parade route starts at the school and actually runs right down the main street in our neighborhood. The first year that we lived here we heard a marching band and were like "What the Hell?" Normally Scott and I are very involved in the parade since we have access to a truck and trailer, but after 4 years I decided to take a break. My taking a break resulted in Ryan's class not having a float, but that is not as bad as it seems since he didn't want to participate,so he wasn't upset. Probably he was glad to have a break from hearing me bitch about making the float. So it was win win. Let me tell you, it is much easier to just drop your kid off at his float and pick him up at the end. Sam's class rode on an antique firetruck which was really cool. He is not visible in the pictures, though, because he ducked down when he saw us on the parade route. Little stinker!! If you notice the two kids in the front corner looking down, that is where Sam should be. Click on the pictures for a larger view. Even though it was a cold and wet day, a good time was had by all!
