Days of '47 Youth Parade

This is Ellie, one of my Nursery children.

The Saturday morning after EFY was the Youth Parade in Downtown Salt Lake. My friend, Ellie's grandma that I visit teach, was in charge of the fire engines and the Queens so she asked me if I would be the excort for the Days of 47 Queen and Attendants so of course I was happy to help. She also wanted some children to ride in the fire truck so of course I had some children to contribute. It was a totally Mormon thing unlike the big parade next weekend. I enjoyed hearing the primary songs and the cute primary children walking the parade route. Enjoy the pictures.

Brett was on this truck too but I don't know where he was. He had been "interviewing" people all over the place that morning. It's his job!The cute attendants. They were darling and accomplished girls. I rode in their car. It was a Mercedes.My friend, Ja Neane in the red shirt with the couple who is in charge of all the Days of 47 events.
My darling ones!

I love it! Gabs wouldn't have worn that hat, waved that flag, and rode that float if I had asked her. What a cute little group!

She thought all my teasing of her was worth it!
