Gilbert Days Parade November 15th

The day finally came...it was time for Troop 1866 to be in its very first parade! The girls looked so cute and were so excited. It was bright and early and they were real troopers when it came to waiting for the parade to start too!

Here is the float all set up and ready to go. Thank you to all the parents that helped out! The float was decorated, the troop sign reassembled a few times (lol), and lots of tape, scissors, and glue bought!

And guess what? Our troop sign won SECOND place!! How cool is that?! The girls did a great job covering the soda bottles and a big thank you to Amy and Lindsey for finishing them up for us! By the way...see that pretty flower? Miss Jeri made two of them for the girls to hold...it got passed around so everyone had a turn...thank you! :)
The flowers looked great! You all did such a great job! My house smelled like paint for a while, but it was definitely worth it! Thank you to all the parents and Daisies for the wonderful float flowers too! :)
We shared the float with two other troops and sang songs with them too! We learned the second verse to "Make New Friends."

And you can't forget, "I'm a little Daisy!"

The girls really got into "We are the Girl Scouts, the mighty mighty Girl Scouts" song.

When those got old, we sang "Lemonade, Crunchy Ice." Ask your Daisy to sing it for you!

And then there was the water bottle that got ran over by the trailer and exploded in the parent's faces! We screamed, people on the sides screamed, and then everyone laughed! It was shocking at first, but then very refreshing! lol
Here are Constance and Kaycie rockin' it out in the van while they were waiting to get picked up. Nothing like a little Radio Disney after a long ride down Gilbert Road! :)

Here's a little video of the sing along the girls participated in. Lillian is STILL singing this song...it does get stuck in your head, that is for sure. I tried to find the exact lyrics that we sang, but there are so many versions. Here is one.



Thanks again to all who helped and participated...the girls had a great time! :)
