Back Tracking...Fiesta Parade

So I've lived in this town nearly 3 years, and guite honestly been oblivious to "FIESTA" but with Jimmy being in school this year we were introduced. All week long at school they had different activities with the kids that were Fiesta related. One day they even had a parade. They called it a shoe box parade. The kids were to make shoe box floats and carry them or drag them in the parade. So Jimmy was of course excited. After much thought he decided on a Batman theme float, so we gathered up some Batman toys, a shoe box, the hot glue gun, and box of art supplies. He wanted the float on wheels so he could drag it, I suggested attaching his shoe box to the top of the barbie car, but that wouldn't do. He was afraid someone might see it, and laugh at him for using a pink car. So we made wheels with his Knex set and put them through the float. Here was the end result. Batman swinging across the sky to the building, bat signal in the sky, and bat mobile drivng along. I did the hot glue and few other parts but mostly Jimmy did this. I was proud of him.

I was shocked though to see at the actual parade how many of the floats looked 100% parent done, like crazy professional things. I thought that was kind of sad cause at least for Jimmy making it was 1/2 the fun.

Addy and Timmy got a kick out of watching the parade, and seeing their BIG brother. Addy thought it was the coolest and wanted to have a parade at home. So I gave her a shoe box and some paper and things, but it never reached completion.
