Gasparilla Children's Parade



We went over to our friends' house on Saturday before the big parade for some beads, cookies, and playtime. The kids had so much fun! Then, we walked down to Bayshore to watch the childrens' parade. The parade was cut short due to impending weather, but we still had a great time. See the cute, cute pictures below.

Harrison, seen here enjoying a pirate cookie, was very sweet to share his backyard and his toys with Cati and Gus and the rest of the kids. He is such a good-natured little boy!

Oh I miss Tampa this time of year! The kids are growing like weeds BTW - I can't get over Gustavo. Mimi needs to meet her buddies one of these days too - maybe when I go to Lakeland to see Mom and Dad I could swing over and we could meet at the park?

Her pirate tee is really cute! Where is that from?

Cati & Gussy are so precious, and growing so fast! Max remains in our prayers. Anne & Gus are the same age-- hope they'll meet one day!-- and Anne's brother or sister will be here any day now. :) Thanks for the updates-- continue to keep us posted! Love, Georgie & Ted & Anne
