Every fall the city of Eureka puts on Eureka Days. They have a parade, rides, bands, contests, etc. over the course of the weekend. The girls got to march in the parade with their school. They had never been that up close and personal with a parade before and they thought it was pretty neat for a while. Then it was "How much further do we have to walk?... When is this over?) After the parade we walked around the booths and then went over to check out the rides. Unfortunately, it had rained a lot for a few days prior and the entire ride area was a soupy, muddy mess. Between the outrageous price of the rides and the fact that their new school tennis shoes were getting covered in mud, everyone quickly lost interest in Eureka Days and we decided to go out to lunch :-P Later that night as we were driving home from a friends' we got to see the fireworks show from the highway. It was really neat and long. So if we try it again next year, we may go for the evening part of the day. Anyway, here's a few pictures of the girls right before the parade:
Elise was "I'm Strong"
