My uncle, Jo Asay, and husband, Andrey, build a train out of 55 gallon drums and a riding lawn mower. It is amazing. My uncle then put Emma and Ellie's names on the side of one of the barrels. For the Taylorsville Days Parade, he asked if we would be in it. Emma got sunscreened up, sat in her little barrel with a train hat on (as well as the rest of us) and we began our walk from Furniture Warehouse on Redwood Road and 5400 (or is
it Road Redwoon...ha,ha) west to 2700 and then made our way North to 4700 S. It was a hot day, but we kept the water coming and a lot of the people watching would get us wet. The kids did great the first um...3 minutes, Emma waving her little hand like crazy, enjoying all the attention (that's just how she is) and then after she threw all the candy (within the next 2 minutes and still 3/4 of a parade left) she got worn out. She just sat back and stared ahead as the train pulled her to her destination...The adults walking in it had to keep the crowd energized as we waved our arms off and kept drinking water. It was so fun to see everyone's excitement to see the awesome train my uncle and husband made. My uncle is so creative and put a lot of heart and work into it. If 
you didn't see the parade, you'll have to check out the pictures. This was a fun day and with a couple of naps and swimming in the new kiddy pool we bought today, the kids are ready for fireworks!! "Ohhh....Awwww....."
