The State Fair of Texas Opening Day Parade

What a blast! Some friends from Oak Lawn UMC invited me and the kiddos to the State Fair of Texas Opening Day Parade in downtown Dallas. We had 4 adults, 10 kids, 3 strollers, and a wagon. What a great way to celebrate the opening of the State Fair!

I love this picture, Madeleine was the only preschool aged girl, the rest were boys. The boys seem a little bored here, not Madeleine!

You might think that this man, the mayor of Dallas, Tom Leppert, would be the big hit at the parade, nope, it was this guy...

Ronald McDonald!!!

My favorite memory of the parade was after the parade when the kids ran in this cool sprinkler downtown...

Everett loved watching the older kids get wet! I won't post the pictures taken after everyone disrobed because their clothes were too wet...
