Greg and Lori for being so timely and together on there really nice boys

It was blustery and near freezing, we arrived at 9 am unloaded moved the rigs to the end of the parade and walked back to the line up. Then got in a nice long wait until 2:30 before we got moving all the while freezing into popcycles. But once we got moving we warmed up quick and all took in the ooooooohs and aaaaaaahs. It sure makes up for all the hurry up wait and freeze.

I hope everyone has marked their calanders for next year and we can be bigger and better

My mom that came in to town at the last minute unexpectedly was greatful to have one of the new blankets to help bear the winds.

I would like to send thanks to Boyd for getting this together and taking care of everyone. Also, thanks to Hollis for having those nice coordinating blankets made. Those really tied the group together and spurred some questions from the crowd.

Everyone did really well, it was worth freezing our butts off!

Starr took TONS of pictures. THANK YOU STARR! They will be up in a photobucket account soon so everyone can look. I will post some of my favs/ 8-)

Thanks so much Boyd!! We wrote a note in the paso chit chat section. You and everyone else did a fantastic job!! We had so much help and want to thank everyone.

The wind was horrendous and costume and float parts were going everywhere. The horses were all amazing under those conditions and on top of that it was really really cold. Very bad conditions for horses in a parade and yet they proved again how great they are!!!

I had a wonderful time, Thanks for inviting me. :D Even though it was cold, I will do it again. I will just have to make sure I don't leave my leather jacket behind.
