Peanut Festival Parade

Samantha and Lilly Grace in the Peanut Festival Parade 2011

 Samantha has always wanted to be in this parade and luckily the PTO asked the Rebelette Queens to ride with the Skipperville Queens. She was so happy and excited, then we got there and I had forgotten her crown and banner. I panicked! So I dropped off Clint and Jessica with Sue and Scott to watch the parade. I then proceeded to race back to the house to get them! On my way I was stopped by a police officer, thankfully I only got a warning. If he had known a little girls happiness was at stake he would have given me a police escort. Finally, I made it home and but couldn't  find her crown! I got another one which she has never ceased telling me was the wrong crown for the Rebelette pageant. So, I got a different crown, but I did get the right banner and headed back to downtown Dothan. Cars could not drive up to main street so Sue got in the car with me.  I dropped her off as close as possible and she ran all the way down a side street to main street with the crown and banner in hand. She was taking awhile so I thought she'd either had a heart attack from running that far or Samantha was already gone! I was so relieved to see her riding back on a golf cart. As luck (God) would have it, a very nice man picked up Sue when she got to main street (otherwise the heart attack would have been a much bigger problem :) and drove her to Samantha's float which had not even moved one inch since I had dropped her off before this wild goose chase began! Mission accomplished, my baby was a queen in all her glory.

The END!
