My sister, Autumn, was invited to be in a parade tonight. She (of course) rode a horse, but ALSO rented a stagecoach to be in this parade. She calls me yesterday to invite all of us to be in this parade and ride in the stagecoach! How quickly do I need to say YES?!? We had some scheduling issues to work out, but in the end I rode with Gram and Grandad and took Natalie and Cooper all dressed up in their cowboy/cowgirl gear.
We all drove together to the Stockyards and hung around the stables waiting for Autumn to get her horse all suited up. After that, we walked to where the stagecoach was waiting for us. We passed some American Indians with war painted faces riding horses bareback, a group of mounted police officers,
a few Buffalo Bill characters, a band completely contained in a float, a military honor guard and many other sights that you just don't get to see every day. Overall? A lot of fun for the kids and a very bumpy ride!
Plus, how many other kindergarteners can tell their friends that they got to ride in a parade,
IN A STAGECOACH?!?
