Nationals Bound Bake Sale!

Not only was Saturday morning filled with Dogwood Fiesta events, but the Jr. Boys Little Dribbler's team also had a bake sale to help raise money for their upcoming trip to the National Tournament in Franklin, Texas. We leave in a little over a week! The boys did an AWESOME job selling the tasty treats their mom's made, and it only took the policeman coming ONCE to "remind" the boys to stay OUT of the road! (They might have started out a bit aggressive with their selling tactics.)

Dogwood Fiesta Begins!!

We kicked off the Dogwood Fiesta season today with the annual parade. The season ends with the PAGEANT (said with a groan) on April 23. All of the princesses participating were asked to ride in a car in the parade.  Will drove Betsy, and at the last minute invited Deets and Major to ride with them! I am not sure who was more excited about being in the back of the truck...Ava or Deets. (Major slept through most of it.) The parade ended in the park where Ava was more interested in playing than she was selling baked goods at the bake sale. It has been a beautiful day and we have ALL had fun.

Pre-parade...before the humidity killed the curls!
Ava with a few friends before the parade. Who by the way, are all AT LEAST six months older than her! (If there was a TALLEST category in the pageant, I think we'd have it in the bag!)
You tell me...who is having the most fun? 




Ava introduces herself to those attending Fiesta in the Park!

Taking time for some fun. We ARE at the park for goodness sake!
Thank you Nina for your help with the car signs!!
