Queen Creek parade!

Today we rode/walked in the Queen Creek parade on the London's Run parade.
The first London’s Run was a benefit event for London’s family in 2006 made possible by the caring support of the Queen Creek residents. London Solomon was a courageous six year old girl who fought a brave and cheerful fight against an aggressive type of leukemia (AML). Her grace still inspires all of us to take advantage of each new day without fear of doing hard things and cherishing our relationships with each other.
I serve with London's mom (in Cub Scouts) and have gotten involved with London's Run event. It is an amazing experience for me and I really enjoy serving with the people involved. We decided to share in the excitement of participating with the float in the parade today. Summer Edwards, Lindsey, Brylee Solomon (cousin of London's) they passed out fliers about London's Run. SUPER girls!!
Dallin Edwards, Calvin Solomon (cousin of London's), Conner, Cherish (cousin of London's) they walked next to the float and passed out candy.
Not only is there the London's Run event to raise money/awareness of children with cancer, but a London's Ride (with horses) has been started. It is so cool!
Cole playing with Brigg Solomon (London's brother) he was a lifesaver! Cole thought he was so cool. He took him and walked him next to the float, gave him a piggy back ride, put him on his shoulders and entertained him pretty much the whole time. I owe him big time, thank you Brigg.
Carly and Haley Porter (a friend from the ward)
Here is a glimpse of the float. What a fun time!
Carly rode in the float and patiently waved to all the viewers. You would of thought she was the Princess of the parade.
We love living in Arizona- the weather is so beautiful right now. We are trying to do things outside as much as possible.
Thanks Heather and Warren Solomon family for letting us be apart of your day today (amazing people)!

Say Hi to Heather for me. They lived in our ward years and years ago. She taught a couple of my kids swim lessons. I was so sad to hear that she lost her sweet little girl.
