On Saturday, October 31st all five girls and I were in Cottage Grove’s Monster Bash parade. The theme we chose was Super Mario Brothers. All of us had different costumes: Stephanie was Mario, Liv was Luigi, Olivia was Toadette, Taylor was Princess Peach, Hillary was Princess Daisy, and I was Toad. Despite the rain and cold, we set up the float and added all of the awesome decorations we had worked on. Thank goodness we had the parents, Lori, and Dale though because they were really the ones pulling it all together when we had to get on the float and go. The rain didn’t stop everyone from coming out to watch the parade and it was really fun seeing the little kids waving to us in their Halloween costumes. It might not have been the dream day for a parade, but in the end we all had a lot of fun, our costumes and float looked amazing, and we came home with a third place trophy!
