When everyone first arrives, it's always a bit of organized chaos...
Then the kids all get a bit more together...
Here is Savanna with two of her best buds, Frannie and Abby, after the parade.
Dazed much?
And here's a cute side story...
Earlier that day in the same area as the parade, the Miss Sun Fiesta Pageant took place. My good friend Linda has three daughters, and her middle child, Justine, was supposed to compete in the pageant, which awards a nice-size scholarship to the winner. She arrived and was set to get ready when she realized she had exactly the same dress as another girl. She was understandably upset, and when she sobbed the story to Linda and exclaimed that she would just have to drop out, a woman approached them and said, "Come with me." She took them down the street to a local boutique, and somehow arranged for Justine to borrow a dress for the evening gown portion.
Not only was her dress a beautiful standout, Justine won! And even more ironic, the girl with the other dress got 1st runner-up. Here they are (Justine is the girl on the right)...
Congratulations, Justine!
