Our neighborhood/ward does a Pioneer Day kids' parade complete with decorated bikes, wagons, pioneer costumes, cotton candy, and popsicles. There weren't nearly as many spectators as there were participants, but the kids had fun.
This year we wanted to do something a little different, so we decorated one of Dallin's remote controlled cars and made a float. It had some technical difficulties during the parade - when going forward it only wanted to go in circles, so it had to be driven backward, but it was still a hit. And, yes, those are Fisher-Price Little People on top of the float. You would think with all the "dudes" in our house that we'd have something that resembled a pioneer or at least a cowboy, but G.I. Joe was the closest we could get and that wasn't quite the message we were going for. So, the Fisher-Price farmer and his entourage had to do. We also used a log cabin bird house that Jayden had made for Scouts. I really had to scour the house for this one.

That float is hilarious! You are so creative. I wish our ward did something like that. How fun.
Oh, and that picture of your boys in helmets cracked me up. Cameron's face is getting squeezed and poor Landon can barely see. Very cute!
That is the best float I have ever seen in a parade.
What a fun idea, a float!!!
Very cute float. You are an awesome mom and do lots of fun things with your kids! I seem to have petered out a bit in that department...I also loved the pictures of BYU, I haven't been there in ages, what a fun place for kids to explore! Hope you guys are having a great summer!
So funny! I love the float!
Hey, you changed the background but didn't add a new post.
