Golden Days Parade



On Saturday, Brett and I went to the BIGGEST PARADE IN ALASKA! We had fun, mostly due to the candy that was given out and the interesting lady sitting next to us. She LOVED the parade. She was jumping up and cheering for every entry!! When the Lion's Club passed by she ran up to the driver of the truck and said, "YOU GUYS PAID FOR MY GLASSSES! WOOOO!" She was all over the place. Why watch the parade when we have a one woman show right next to us!?


NEVERTHELESS, there were a couple of fun entries, including...


A GIANT blow-up police officer...
#1 float entry in the parade

One of my personal favorites - true alaskan vehicle!

A little religious propaganda! People kept handing them to Brett like he really needs to be saved!!

Of course...SANTA CLAUS. We live fifteen minutes away from the city NORTH POLE.

Elvis isn't actually dead, he's just performing in Alaska.


...and what's any parade without a FIRETRUCK?

Looks like a party... Matt and I went to the parade here in Provo for the 4th of July and guess what.. He slept through the whole thing pretty much! I love parades and he clearly doesn't!! Too bad we didn't a freakin sweet lady next to us to keep him entertained! lol... we are excited for you guys to move back! We will plan an end of summer/welcome home BBQ at our place! Love you!
