Learning how to properly cut and prepare flowers to be place on the float:
Float in progress:
Our Group at the Stars of Life Gala
(don't we all look dressed for a funeral in our black outfits, ha!)
The night before the parade...people sleep on the streets and all the stores are boarded up. Quite the experience!
The Finished Product:
The float was named Stars of Life. It honored those individuals and families that chose to donate in the midst of unthinkable tragedy.
We even found an In-N-Out while we were there...yum!
After the parade we went to the Rose Bowl. David and I both love football so it wasn't hard to scrounge up the funds and justify why we should get tickets. We decided to be Penn State fans (David has always liked Joe Paterno)and then ended up sitting in a sea of people cheering for USC. We were lucky we made it out alive.
We came back to Colorado for 4 short days before we were off to Flordia to embark on our Caribbean Cruise! I will post pictures of that vacation soon...I have to go finish laundry.
