Don't scare adorable cousin.


 Enjoy the Washington County Fair Parade!

Although we did not win any prizes or didn't even place for the royalty floats, we felt like we did a very good job and our float was beautiful!  The best part was getting all dressed up in GOLD.  We had gold body paint (Kryolan) that was water soluble and was very comfortable to wear and easy to apply and even easy to wash off!  We had gold candies to throw which was very fun.  We learned to work together and enjoyed getting to know each other better.  Wait..... isn't that what its all about?
