So, when I went to Kansas a couple of weeks ago I didn't know I was heading into the 100th Anniversary of All Schools Day! You may be wondering what All Schools Day is since it's not a holiday in most towns. In McPherson County it happens the first or second Friday of May every year. School is out, the parade is in the morning, lunch is brats and pop for $1 [I don't know if this still exists], madathon craziness in the afternoon, and carnival in the evening! The whole week is filled with community activities and fun. It's really a great tradition.
In the more recent years a theme is chosen and the floats are creative interpretations of said theme. For the 100th anniversary the theme was: Celebrating 100 Years.
The float from Washington Elementary where my mom teaches. (-:
What kind of dog is this? I wanted to snatch it up.
This was the Nephew and Niece's first All Schools Day, but technically they don't get All Schools Day since they don't live in McPherson County.
Their mom and dad didn't want them to miss out. Suckers.
Those kids own me. And everyone else in the family too. (-:
Can we discuss how ripped my forearms look? I hope this isn't real life...
love these people.
