Transportation Parade

The kids school has a great event every year called the transportations parade. The first year I thought it was a parent test. Are you a good enough parent to make your kindergartener a vehicle for the transportation parade? The kindergarteners parade in homemade vehicles. First grade parents have it a bit easier, they just have to dress their child as a community helper (basically, dress like someone's job. No superheroes please!). All the other grades just get to watch the parade.

Phoenix this year, as a first grader, went as a pilot. He has a bomber jacket for his winter coat so it was a piece of cake to dress him as a pilot.









Last year, I built an airplane for Phoenix. I'd been thinking of how to make it all year long. Phoenix loves planes more than anything so he needed a plane for the parade. He is wearing his Grandpa's Air Force hat.







Last year, when Heidi was in first grade. She went as a community helper; a cook!








When Heidi was in Kindergarten, her vehicle was a bus. Her favorite color is blue. So it was a blue school bus.







After the parade, the kids get to look at all sorts of transportation vehicles that people bring: Fire trucks, amulances, boats, race cars, classic cars, motorcycles, shipping trucks and anything else someone can bring.
