The Bike Parade

A few weeks ago Abby was invited to her friend Tripp's birthday party. Since Tripp's actual birthday fell on Fat Tuesday this year they decided on a mardi gras themed party. It was a Bike Parade Party! How fun, right? All the kids brought along their bikes, scooters, and ride-ons and rode along the barricaded parking lot. Now why didn't I think of something like this. It was so much fun!

I had to take a picture of Tripp's birthday cake. Lacy did such a wonderful job on it, don't you think? As you can see, Tripp loves trains. I mean, what boy doesn't right? I just loved his cake and the personal touches were brilliant. And of course those cupcake "train cars"...genius!

Abby rode her bike so much that afternoon. She had to add some extra "bling" to her bike before the big parade which was about to start.

All the kids lined up for their bike parade. They were all pretty excited. :) Several parents grabbed beads and moved out along the parking lot.

I'm thinking this was Abby's 2nd drive thru! She already had some beads on so I'm just guessing. All the kiddos would ride a little bit then stop and get some beads from the parents. It was awesome!

It's the birthday boy!

I love Abby's expression in this photo! She was having a blast! And look at all those beads!

I can't quite remember exactly but I think the kids went around 2 or 3 times. They all ended up with so many beads and we had a ton left over!

Here's Abby making her way around the parking lot one last time. I had to laugh once I saw how many beads she had on her bike and herself!

Riding around a few more times till it was time to leave. She didn't want to leave of course.

Finally a pic of just the two of us. Yes, that's me in the picture. Thanks Lacy for offering to take it of us! Overall, we had such a blast! It was a fantastic birthday party!
