The Children's Parade

Last weekend was an early start for the Leggett's - we got up early and headed downtown to be in the Days of '47 Youth Parade. Our stake had a float in the parade and wanted the Primary kids to walk with the float and with Anna being the Primary President for our ward - off we went. Unlike the 4th of July parade it was boiling hot and we had to wait outside for about 1.5 hours before it began. Poppy (and Daddy) soon tired of this, as evidenced by the group shot above!. Finally the parade set off and we had a nice time walking from Trolley Square down to Library Square (which if you know SL isn't really that far). Poppy was once again terrified of the clowns, one decided to get really close to her and made her jump (which i have to confess was a tad amusing). Anyway here are some pictures from our little adventure.



There was a group shot of all the kids taking part, as you can see from the above pictures Poppy was in it - although, as you can see from the below pictures, the handle of the wagon covered her up (she is on the very far left)



I don't know what she is saying - but I would guess it would be something like "let's go already" or "crikey it's toasty" or "keep the clowns away from me".


I took this picture right after she was scared by the clown, as you can see she is holding on for dear life (you can also see Poppy's clown nemesis in the background scooting off to terrorize/entertain more children).
