Dairy Days

Another year has come and gone and it has rolled around once again.  The BEST parade ever!  Dairy Days in Meridian is here again and we were out to support it once again.   Blake was out of town on a camp out, so we got to leave extra early and we went to the front line of the parade with some good friends.

Allie is a trained parade spectator.  She was waiving her bag yelling for candy from the get go

"A real cowboy with a lasso"-quoted Allie

Tyler and Allie

Sophie can't complain, look hard to see her milk mustache.  She enjoyed the chocolate milk as well as the TCBY ice cream.  This girl LOVES "people food"

Once again Allie was successful in obtaining her summer nightgown from the parade-an over sized milk shirt.  We had come home and our neighbors also had gotten milk shirts-Josie, Payton, and Allie in their shirts.

Something new we tried out this year was the kids bike race at Meridian Speedway

The race for Allie's age group was one lap around the Meridian speedway.  Allie was so excited to be racing her bike on the big track for the fast cars.

Before the race they provided decorations for all the kids to decorate their bikes.  Allie decked her bike out in streamers and even put a name tag on the front

Focusing so hard....I love it

I ran to the other side of the track to cheer Allie on and catch her going around the last corner

Everyone got a medal for finishing the race.... appropriately it was a cow bell for the Dairy Days

I promised Allie a ride at the mini "fair" after the bike race.  We had a great year at Dairy Days; until next year!
