So for the fourth (4th) year in a row we entered a float with my Grandson Gage in the 2014 Florida Strawberry Festival Baby Parade (http://www.flstrawberryfestival.com/). This years theme was The Little Rascals, Gage as Spanky and I am very proud to say that we have taken 1st Place again this year :). It was a combined effort of family members from design to actual building the float. I am sad to say this was the final year as the contest only goes up to four year olds. :(
As an extra plus, the local Focus Magazine that covers events at the festival was so impressed that they used Gage and his float for the intro for the events for the day. The first link is to the edited short version I have on my Photobucket site, The second is the full edited version ( 9 min.) of the parade on there site.

Also my Granddaughter Audra who is four decided this year she wanted to enter the beauty pageant part and won third place out of seventeen contestants. :) This was the first time she ever was interested and unfortunately because of her age the last time. :( It has been a fantastic journey with my family. :)
Afterwards we spent the afternoon taking the kids to the rides and the adults enjoyed fair food and some yummy Strawberry Short Cake. :) :) :)

Congratulations Russ and to your whole family. The float turned out great, like the tire swing, lol Brings back memories of the camps we used to make back in the old days. Too bad this has to be the last year.

I can see why Gage and the family won with that float.
The video was a whole lot of "Awwww for cute!!!"

Great day for Russ and Family!
I think Russ agrees that if we knew Grand Kids would be so much fun we would have had them FIRST!
