Festive streets

Rubix cube street
Today is the first day of the Gracia Festival!!!!!!!!!!!.  First in the morning there was the opening ceremony parade with giants and music players and even people playing with fire!  There was one really cool part when the fire guy came up to my dad and took him in the parade with a pole on fire:):):)!!!!!  Also there were these really loud guns that went off that kind of hurt my ears!  After the parade we went home and put on some weird costumes to greet Grumps and Nat who are here to visit us. It was funny! Then we went out and looked at streets with them and saw another parade.  In this parade there were big trucks and people threw huge handfuls of candy at everybody.  Some even hit people in the head!  After we looked at more of the streets.  They were very cool.  I love the Star Wars street!  We stopped for dinner in the Plaza and then we went home and just talked and played the iPad. Then we went to bed.

  2. It looks super cool, love your costume. Why don't you show us a picture of the Star Wars street? It sounds like it's everyone's favorite. Nice score on all the candy.
