We didn't really fly to Apple Blossom, but flying was the theme. DeA did run to the festival with Rock in order to make the start of the Pig Jig run. Ryker, Jens and I came later in Bubbles and waited at the finish line to cheer on Rock and Mommy.
Jens found the ice cubes in the water coolers and started sucking those down.
I missed DeA and Rock as they approached, but here they are sprinting across the line.
Rock did a great job of finishing, thanks to being pushed in the stroller for 4.9 of the 5Ks.
Rock was completely official with a number and tag.
DeA ran hard, probably because of the extra Rock weight that she was pushing.
Ryker helped himself to the runners' water. It was delicious.
After the run we went to the pancake breakfast where Rock refused to eat with us. I don't know who he ended sitting with, but they weren't us.
Geri was there to help the boys cut up their pancakes and cover them in syrup.
I don't know who that nice girl is, but I don't think she was thrilled to have two boys sitting at her table.
The parade was a little after breakfast, so Rock did some karate moves with Atticus.
Jens did what she does best by crashing and snoozing.
Grandpa and Grandma Christensen were up from Orem just to see the England Chiropractic float and for no other reason.
With our boys being so pasty white we made sure to cover them with sunscreen.
Lindsea made sure to have a spot staked out with Hudson.
I wrangled the boys down to the staging area where they played in Papa Dale's float.
Poly wanted to be in the parade, too. He also wanted it to be 40 degrees outside instead of the 90 that it really was.
It is always fun to show the kids off and eat all the candy.
I don't know where Rock's shirt went, but did I mention that we have pasty white kids?
They did a great job throwing candy and only eating a little bit at a time.
Jens wasn't in the truck with the candy, so she enjoyed a yummy banana with her aunts.
She liked the parade, especially the horses and motorcycles.
Our little Energizer Bunny rarely takes naps, but he was so tired that crashed and crashed hard.
It was a pretty awesome Apple Blossom Saturday. Soon I'll post pictures from the Apple Blossom reception later in the afternoon.
My float shoulda been named "all my kids float" since they were the ones that did all the work on it...a big thank you to them and the youngin's who manned it down the route. Fun times, thanks for including them in it.
