Lilac Parade 2011

> It is a tradition for Marsha to come along with us, the girls love her to pieces and they have so much fun with her!










Cold girls, Grandma warmed them up!





Ruby ran out to Mike and carried her the rest of the way, she was so excited!




Castle float, pretty!


I braved it and decided to do our yearly Lilac Parade outing. Ruby and I were both doing better, aside from my unending cough. We met up with my friend Marsha and headed to an area of the parade that Mike said was less crowded. Ruby really wanted him to notice her, so we tried it out. We sat at the very end as they turn the corner off of Riverside, turned out to be the perfect spot for us. We were able to see the floats and other vehicles closeby, and watch the bands come right beside us. Normally we would get lost in the crowd, this way we were right in the front. Sure enough, Ruby ran right up to Mike and he picked her up and carried her to the end of the parade. She was thrilled. The walk back was super easy and on streets that were pretty peaceful. Couldn't have asked for a better night. Fun!

  1. So cute, Eve! I hope Mike didn't have to carry Ruby too far. How is his back this morning?

  2. Thanks Evie! He actually only carried her about two blocks and back, we were at the very end of the parade. We discussed where we were sitting so that Mike would know where to look. This is the first year that he has seen us in the crowd because we usually sit right where there are tons of people. It was so nice to be in an area where we had space. Wish I would have felt better, otherwise it was a great night! Hope you are having a good weekend too my friend!
