Homecoming

In true Louisiana fashion, parades are a pretty big deal around here.  And as the PTO person, it was my job to get the kindergarten float up and going.  Fortunately for me, my friend Elizabeth has a husband who is super handy with building stuff so we were in business.

The theme this year was super dumb (in my opinion) and was "We are older than Disney - Zachary High School is 100"  What are you supposed to do with that??  Well we decided that since there are 5 elementary schools, we would each divide up into 20 year increments and represent the 100 yrs that way.  We were assigned 1933 - 1953.  Great, huh?  So we decided to go with Fantasia - with the tag line We Sweep the Competition.

Here are pics of the whole float process:

 The trailer - the bare bones beginning.

 The beginnings of the sorcerer's hat.

 Wrapping with hat while our kids posed for pictures!

 Back wall - supposed to look like a castle

 

Stuffing the chicken wire to make the hat's rim

Spray painting the letters for the sides

work work work - no pictures as I forgot my camera!

 

Loading up the candy for the parade

 Getting ready to start the parade - how cute is that float??

  Here you can see the cute Mickey ears at the front and the back of the castle wall.

The girls loved riding on the float!
