December 6, 2008

The first Saturday in December each year, Punta Gorda hosts a Christmas Parade. Usually it is hot, however this year it was pleasant for those that weren't marching. Samantha marched with her band. She did very well and was pleased with her performance. Samantha even traded instruments halfway through (bass drum for the first half, than cymbals.)

Raeleigh and I got to ride on a float. Raeleigh and her fellow girl scouts spent about three meetings making decorations for the float. They did an awesome job. We sang carols and waved the crowd and we rode by. I like this picture of Raeleigh smiling and waving (in the corner of the trailer).
