Apple Blossom 2009

Hollie 15 Years Old Marching in the Apple Blossom Parade!

She and Katy (her friend) woke up at 0430, Katy of course forgot one part of the band uniform. Leaving me to race at 0515 (IN THE MORNING) into Milton and then to the bus by 0530. It was a busy morning.
Thom and I waiting for the parade to start.........

The Troopers, Nana, Opa, and Grandma (the kids great grandma). They all got up at the crack of dawn to sit in the sunshine and freeze. The wind was blowing off the water and it had a bite to it. They definitely earn Grandparent points for that


Nana, Lauren, and Grandma Rizzo. No, for those of you who don't know My grandmother does not have red hair.


Lauren and her friend Natalie in Leavenworth having a great time. Natalie had never been outside of Western Washington so going over the pass with the snow was an adventure. Of course we had to take her to Leavenworth. We got to bump into Hollie once, her school takes all the kids there after Marching. They eat lunch and go shopping. It is a big deal since they are kind of on their own.
Hollie came home at 0800 p.m. excited she said they sang songs on the bus ride home. She also said that she got ripped off. Apparently she was convinced by the sales clerk that the price was ten dollars more. (Canada vs US) There was a valuable lesson.
Hollie was so tired from the day that she came home talked to us and then went right to bed.
