Welcome to my blog! This is a place for me to write and share with family, friends and those who stumble upon our story. The most recent story begins in November 2011 with the "July 11th" post. The prequel to this story began back in June 2011 with the "The making of CCA" post.

Swamp Fox Parade - 2013

"Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold"*

This song by Britt Nicole has been on top charts, both pop and Christian, this past few months so it seemed like the perfect theme for our float this year. Each of the 2000 baggies we handed out contained a small plastic gold coin that said "you really shine"...now how cool is that?

We had many waiting for our baggies again this year, apparently they are very well liked! We also had a large number of people excited by the "gold" coins and the music selection (props to my hubby for the play list, he did a great job!).

While it rained right before the parade was to start and we made a mad dash to cover the music equipment, just as the parade started moving, the rain stopped and we were able to get the music playing again. I feel it was an huge success!

Here are a few of the photos I was able to snap while walking! (psst. don't the new shirts and hats look great?!?)
