This weekend was our Third Girl Scout Children's parade. We had a couple of snafus throughout the week leading up and we ended up riding on the treasure train with another troop. A pink glorified golf cart that takes tourists around Galveston.
In a feat of efficiency and in trying to keep the girls contained during our 2 hour wait for the parade to start, we held our weekly meeting sitting in the parking lot to determine what we were going to eat at camp this coming week. Then the band parked next to us and my girls were off to do the Cha Cha slide and the chicken dance and to do a bit of exploring.
The crowds were heavy but pretty well behaved. We only had a couple of intersections where people really crowded the float. Parents that think it is ok for a small child to run right up to a moving vehicle boggle me!!
The bead count: I did not make a good count ahead of time this year as we had several last minute donations and random bags placed on board. So here is my estimate: 280 dozen beads, plus 2000 pieces of bubblegum.
