Spring Fest Activities

Our Parade entry that won FIRST PLACE!! Our parade coordinators Chuck and Ginger actually mounted/welded some bars on top of a trailor!! The whole set-up was lit because the parade happens at night. It was by far the best float we've ever had!! We were the "Grand Marshalls" and got to be the first ones....the girls tumbled along the side, with our princess characters walking with them, the coaches helped girls tumble on the trailor and swing on the bars. The crowd loved it, especially our little 3 year olds that would skip along side then show off their donkey kicks! This was a great ending to our "Stick It For the Cause" theme this year. We raised over $500 for the Columbia Basin Cancer Foundation through our Fun Meets this year.

A few of our team members and parents who participated in the 5K fun run the morning of Spring Fest. We had a few top finishers! The others we need to teach the how to "pace" themselves. It was RUN full speed, then walk, RUN full speed then walk. I was getting a little dizzy!!

If you can tell, Alizah LOVED the bars on the float. She was a "tiny"( hear the exaggeration) upset at Aunt Kiki who was supposed to bring her her smelly Sketcher shoes, and forgot them. When she wants something she won't let it go. Through the two hour wait and three hour parade, she kept asking for the sketchers (all the other girls had tennis shoes and she had INSISTED she wear her pink diamond sandals). Korbi had parked near the end of the parade and ran and got the shoes that she had left in the car. Alizah had them on her feet just as the last spectator saw our float!!

Coach Amy swinging Alizah on the bars. I didn't get any more of Hanna and Piper except in a few group shots. We were so busy during the parade. It was a fun, but busy weekend, but I think the kids will remember the cheers for them for a long time! Thanks to all the parents who made that possible!


SO this am I'm up bright and early. Brandon informed me last night that if I am going to get up and work out (we've started an adult fitness class at our gym at 6 in the morning) then, I could get up and clean the house and finish my work then. So I'm blogging, does that count???? I did at least throw in a load of laundry and do the dishes....So I'm finished, so off I go to pick up the swimming stuff that hasn't made it past the front door. The kids have already been to the Aquatic Center three times and are going again tonight. We love that place!!
