Today was the first annual Pittsboro Summerfest, and we discovered a couple of days ago that there would be a bike parade. And that was something that we would not be passing up!
Gwen had a cute outfit that I had thrift stored a while back, but Steph was lacking in the red, white and blue department. Luckily, my Mom had let me borrow some fabric paints a while back and I turned a stained white shirt she never wore into a festive 4th of July shirt. Stephanie declared it the best craft ever, so that was definitely a win!
And while you can't really see it, you might want to squint and admire the new sofa, complete with multi colored buttons!
And off to the parade. Stephanie had a "rocket bike" and Gwen was Mission Control, complete with a little computer and Oskar the Bear in an astronaut helmet (how is the for a birthday party reuse, courtesy of Alaina?)
The parade was very short, 8 minutes total. They gave out prizes, but Stephanie didn't win. Disappointing, for sure, as we thought (and we are completely impartial, of course!) it was one of the most creative out there, but it was also more subtle. Lesson learned... More glitter glue next year! And mostly I was in it for the photos... Which rocked!
After the parade, we enjoyed some of the downtown festivities and a nearby park.
And this was only the third of July. Planning for a repeat fun day tomorrow!
