It'll be 4th of July soon. We always go to the parade that is here in town. It's not a huge parade, but it's nice. The kids like it. Last summer, Little Guppy had a float in the parade. Michaela's feelings were hurt that she did not get to be in it with Little Guppy, but the kids did not go to Camp Guppy last summer so why would they have been in it. I'm sure, too the kids that were in it had parents who helped make the float.

Anyway, Michaela not only got one offer, but two offers to be in the parade this year. Her girl scout troop is going to walk in the parade and the church we go to is going to have a float in the parade. The girl scouts are just walking as far as I can tell. They are expected to wear their uniforms. Well, Michaela is between Brownies and Juniors right now. Her Brownie vest is too small and I've not bought her Junior vest yet. Plus her Brownie vest still has the numbers from the old troop on it.

We decided to go with the Church. First of all, both kids get to be in it that way and not in separate places. Plus, I'm more social with people at church. I like the other moms from girl scouts, but I spend more time with people from church and am a little more comfortable around them. So, this Saturday we're going to go help put together the float for our church's parade entry. They are using it as a way to advertise for VBS this year.
