Fourth of July Parade

We participated in the 4th of July parade again this year. Float building started on Friday June 27th and we finished in the later afternoon on Thursday, July 3rd. This year we built a dessert skiff to resemble those seen in Return of the Jedi

The float was built onto the back of a 48 foot flatbed trailer, and made of cardboard, 2x2's, and paint. This was much more complicated than last year's float, but it turned out great and we all had a great time working on it. The 4th turned out to be a beautiful day, around 70 degrees, which is perfect weather for trooping. I've put together a slide show of pictures from the beginning of float building to the end of the parade. Enjoy!
