Well the parade is over and it actually didn't go too badly. We even got invited to the Ashcroft parade next month and we might even actually go this year. The weather was pretty good, a little bit chilly but no rain. By the time we had finished the first half of the parade we had all warmed up and were able to take our track coats off, good thing the van was right in front of us, otherwise we would have had to carry our coats. I think we only forgot what we were doing about 10 times, which is pretty good for only an hour of practice 5 days before we actually did it. It feels weird knowing that next year I will be watching the parade in stead of being in it. All well, at least I'll be home by this time next year. We didn't go to the rodeo today, so we'll be going tomorrow.
