The Best Theme Float

Just like last year, and two years before that (we missed a year), this year we built a float for the homecoming parade. The theme was "I <3 UM." So we decided to build a eye for the I, a giant heart, and a couple of big UM letters. The letters aren't in this photo, but we held them up on sticks above the heart for the parade.

We were up until 4:30 a.m. the night before/morning of the parade finishing the float, but this is normal and fun.

We ended up winning the category of "Best Theme Float" so we were pretty happy about that.

If you want to see more pictures, I have some, as do Beth and Tina.

Float Building

We had quite a turnout last night over at the guys' house to work on the homecoming parade float. Homecoming is this Saturday, and we are building a super-rad float. Last year we won third place for our super-cool pirate ship, but we hope to do even better this year.

For those of you "in the know" you'll already know what part of the float this is in the background of the picture. For the rest of you (if you can keep it on the D.L.) let me just say that the theme of this year's parade is "I <3 UM." The "<3" is a heart by the way, but just think what part of that sentence this could be. Eye know what it is. See what eye mean. Just don't look too hard.

We'll be continuing to work on it all week, and then Friday night we'll have a big party to finish it off. Saturday morning we'll be meeting at the guys' house at 7:30 a.m. to head downtown for the parade. Dress warm.

Oh, and yes, that is liquid starch in Tyler's hair.
