Before the Paraaaaaaade Passes By....

If you don't know what that song is from, call me, we need to chat.

This past weekend was also Gilbert Days - the annual Town of Gilbert celebration!  I remember going every single year growing up and it was always something we looked forward to.  Waking up early, finding our traditional spot in front of Circle K to watch the parade, and just LOVING every part of it. 

This year we could finally take our kids!  We had such a great time and they loved it.  There wasn't as many cool floats as I remember, mainly just advertising... but it was just fun to be at a parade again!  They even had some old-school planes fly over it which was just so neat! (and yes, the whole thing made me tear up.  I really couldn't get a hold of myself this weekend)

I remember this bull from when we used to go - stay strong!

All the high schools had their bands playing.  I of course had to take a picture of my Alma Mater, Highland High.  And I have to say, they were BY FAR the best band out there - and that's not just my Hawk pride soarin'.  You did me proud youngin's.

Okay, this was the cutest.  They had a senior women's pom-pom team!  They were ADORABLE!!  For reals, and they were struttin' there stuff like there was no tomorrow!!  Oh, umm, bad choice of words...

Live long and prosper ladies!



Our kids got their fair share of free tossed out candy and made the most of it. 

Well played you three.

We'll see you next year Gilbert Days!
