{Fall Festival Pet Parade} Wranglin' Up the Wild Westside

Two cowgirls. One cowboy. And a few little "cows" to wrangle up.That's what it took to make our Fall Festival Pet Parade float a winner! Well, and maybe a handful of adults willing to play along and help put the whole thing together.

Mikaelah and I created a few specialty items for our parade float, which we called "Wranglin' Up the Wild Westside."

Seen below are Landon, Brylee and Avery. They had a GREAT time, and at the end they were so proud of their third-place medals.

Here's the whole bunch! We all had a lot of fun, and what a great day for the parade. Nothing but blue skies.

Extra special thanks to our brother, Jonah, who built our fenced-in float. (He is co-owner of Bowen and Becher Construction, and he really knows his stuff. I think he had a lot of fun at the parade and building the float!)

It was our second year in the Pet Parade, and looking back at pictures from the year before, it's funny to see how much our kiddos have grown! Our theme for 2010 was an enchanted forest. (Pretty much just a good excuse to put the little girls in tutus!) The photos were taken by my good friend, Erin McCracken.

We'll be sure to be back at the Pet Parade next year!
