I haven't been to a parade or water show in so many years. Looks like a fun time!Debby@Just Breathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685398064340027809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-90287496494589666782012-05-30T09:44:26.572-04:002012-05-30T09:44:26.572-04:00WOW, what great pictures of the skiing!

It's just not natural for people to be able to walk on water and throw teeny boppers in the air while doing it. Great pictures, Joyce!<br /><br />And I am soooo with you on the candy at the parade thing. It's because our society doesn't believe our children are capable of enjoying themselves and showing respect unless there is something in it for them. I have the same beef with my kids' school, which rewards them with candy for reading or getting their work done on time. *sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-89662368480859465562012-05-29T14:30:56.582-04:002012-05-29T14:30:56.582-04:00That candy thing is crazy dumb, isn't it?!

It happens here too, and I think it sends the wrong message AND it's dangerous! kids run all over the place trying to scoop it off the street. Crazy! Someone might get hurt! We saw the waterskiers when in Sparta. Definitely unique and amazing!!Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02709403392707881786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-14259290976421924082012-05-28T21:39:55.022-04:002012-05-28T21:39:55.022-04:00I love water ski shows and small town parades so i...I love water ski shows and small town parades so it sounds like a good weekend to me.
