Our city celebrated it's centennial on Labor Day. They held a "Melon Carnival" and Kiddie Parade (Apparently they celebrated in much the same way 100 years ago!) The girls got to decorate their bikes and ride in the parade. It was really cute. They must have felt pretty important as people on either side of the parade route smiled and cheered! Afterwards we took a horse-drawn wagon ride, sampled local melon, watched Portuguese dancers, and got faces painted! It's fun to feel part of a community. Even though I wasn't born and raised here, it feels like home.

that sounds like so much fun. I wish to go to a parade where the kids get to decorate their bikes...that would be so fun.
