This evening was the Lampeter Fair Baby Parade and since Awstin was in it, of course I went to watch. It was amazing. I had no idea that parents put so much time and energy into creating show pieces for their children to ride in or wear. I'm pretty sure it should be called a "parent creation parade" instead of baby parade.
Melissa got the idea to make a manure truck for Awstin to ride in at the parade. She thought she would just get a barrel and put it on top of a wagon, paint it and pull Awstin in it. She told Shawn her idea and in her words, "Shawn kind of took it from there." Shawn and Josh spent a good many hours getting this truck just right, even down to the wide fenders and same lettering that they put on their big trucks. In the end, I think they were a little worried that they had overdone it. However, when they saw what other parents had put together, they realized they should not have worried. It ended up being a really cute event and even though it rained and Awstin was tired, everyone had fun. They came in third in their category and I think they were satisfied and just happy to get a prize for all their efforts.
Here are a few pictures and two videos from the evening.
Awstin's shirt also had "Lehman Ag" on it and Melissa was wearing a "Lehman Ag" sweatshirt.
