Placerville Parade

On Sunday we had the privilege of watching Ashlee perform with her dance troupe in the Placerville parade.


We arrived a little bit late after making our way through the madness to get her to the parking lot in time for a warm up before the parade began.


She was all confidence and smiles (here she is being goofy with her friends.)
I was impressed by all who came out to participate; it was quite the production.
Nearly every passer-by was tossing candy to the kids, and by the end of the parade each of my kids had a sackful. It was like Halloween all over again, just before the holidays. Oh joy.
Forrest and Anthony, with Grandma Nancy's new beau in the background.
Rachel watched from her stroller the whole time, enjoying the occasional piece of candy that came her way. She was nice and sticky afterwards.
The boys enjoyed a close-up of this tractor.
You can guess who liked these princesses...
We even saw the boys' Shihan from karate, as their demo team was in the parade as well.

  1. I love seeing the band truck in the background. I'm glad you enjoyed the parade. It has been a holiday tradition up there for I don't know how long.

  2. This is silly, but I was able to pick out the band parents in there cougar blue. You captured Stan the driver, and Nina and George in your picture. It's one of those small world things.
