The
Kindergarten classes at the boys' school hold a "
Kindy 500" each year. We are new to the school, but have seen a video of previous years. I knew that this was a big deal and some cars get pretty elaborate. Taylor asked for a "black Jeep" we did our best and he said his Jeep was "Awesome!". Dave built the body of the car and Taylor and I added the details.


Taylor was assigned Texas for his license plate.
Before the parade the classes sang a program of patriotic songs. It was so adorable that it made me cry...okay, so everything makes me cry these days. It's just that this is such a fun age and Taylor is going to move on too soon. :( Taylor was one of the few to have a speaking part and he gave it perfectly! "She is mighty and tall with a torch in hand. Touring this country sure is grand."

Speakers played "Life is a Highway" (by Rascal
Flatts) throughout the whole school and all the kids came out to watch the parade.
It was a stress to get the car done, but he was so proud of it and the program and parade were fun to watch.

That is a sweet ride! You did a great job!
Looks like a bit of a traffic jam for that photo opp. Are those swim noodles? Very smart. Oh, and cool.
Oh man, that is such a cool thing. Kurt would go crazy over that. Good question, are those swimming noodles on the top? Nice work guys. Taylor looks so happy. Why can't they just freeze every once in a while and you can just enjoy a stage without having to worry that it's going to FLY past? It's a great irritant for me! :)
No, they aren't swim noodles, however that was one of our ideas. They are actually pipe insulation...I think that's what they were called. We thought it would be too hard to paint the noodles black.
That is a pretty amazing vehicle! My son Dan, just came in and said "Can we make one of those mom?" It looks like a lot of work.
Do you think you'll ever blog again?
That is AWESOME!!!! I love it! :D
