Apple Blossom Grand Parade / Circus

Our little town has over 250,000 guests come in for a little over a week to celebrate Apple Blossom. The colors for the festival are kelly green and bright pink. (You'll notice my outfit at the end!) We had a great day at the parade and then got free tickets to the circus for the early evening show. We ended up leaving early from the circus due to hunger pains but overall we had a great day. We did have an accident happen right in front of us at the parade - a crushed plastic chair collapsed on to a girls foot and she just about lost her big toe! That added a little more excitement to the parade for us but overall it was nice to sit back, relax and not be in charge of a single thing!

PS - Even the rain held off all day today!
