Watermelon Festival- Part II

The parade was planned for Saturday and what is a parade without throwing out candy? So to keep the Watermelon theme going I turned this red bowl into a Watermelon!

I also made some Watermelon shaped fans and personalized some of them too!

Now let me just say I knew it was going to be hot but, I just had not prepared myself for just how HOT it was going to be. Did I mention it was HOT? The parade started at 10am but we had to be there around 9:15am. I thought that it may not be that bad since it was in the morning, but I was WRONG!

While we were waiting for everyone to get lined up, Maddie spotted a couple of her friends.

She enjoyed playing around with them for a little while.


After waiting for everyone to get in correct order, it was finally time to start the parade!
Maddie's umbrella was made special by her Aunt La La and it
came in very handy in keeping that sunlight off!
Thank you, Laurie, for taking your time to make an extra one for Maddie!

My niece,Harley, was ready to roll!

Maddie really enjoyed throwing candy out to everyone at the parade.

After the parade was over, we headed over to the Ag Center to the Festival. Despite the heat, we all had a great time and really enjoyed our day!
