Flashback Friday

Our first SnowDown parade...
Gee whiz, that was 3 years ago! We did a puppet show in the back of the truck.... the 3 little pigs and a big bad wolf. We had a hard time making the straw house and the twig house but it worked and the big bad wolf never blew our houses down!
Last year was just silly fun in our alien chase vehicle complete with Aliens, crazy hair, light up glasses, and foil! We had our geek on! That seems pretty easy for me to do....

This year I think we're gonna kill it with our "We herd they were coming" theme. Zebras. 

We herd zebras were coming to Durango. We even have Zebra suits to wear! 

Can't wait to see you at the Snowdown 2014 Light parade!

Flashback Friday

Remembering...... last year for SnowDown was our first parade entry, I believe we had a Geek Squad UFO sighting vehicle..... and a few of our own earthbound alien types hanging out with us.....

Pith helmets..... we made pith helmets back in March when we did the passports at the fairgrounds.... that was cool! We cut the rims off of paper plates, and placed that around a paper bowl and taped the whole thing together. A chin strap for safety and we were set.....

We herd they're coming.... the zebras that is! Not really ordinary zebras but mythical zebras.... Zebracorns of bright colors that look sorta like a unicorn and a zebra but, but, but, they re different and they certainly act differently..... perhaps we'll just turn the truck into a giant pink Zebracorn too! What if the Zebracorns poop on the street during the parade? It seems like they would just leave a giant pile of glitter behind.....
I better get the word out!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is that I heard this morning?

When I unlocked the front door, the sounds of little feet on the floor and pops filled my ears! Turns out it was all the poppers marching in a parade wearing Fourth of July themed outfits! They were very surprised to see me walking through the front door and they scurried back to their posts. Everyone here in the toy store is getting excited for the upcoming holiday!
