10 Days!

Happy Last day of July everybody. The BPAC is very hard at work as there are only 10 days left until the 2011 Ocean City Baby Parade! These next few days are going to be the construction days for the big float. As a little recap we got a flat bed wagon that was a bit too small to fit 5-6 kids so we got a piece of wood to put on top that way the kids had a little bit of room. We have the wood and it is cut but when we put big water bottles on it to represent the weight of the float it was near impossible to pull.
JV and K testing the wagon without the wood.

So the wonderful minds of the BPAC started thinking and searching hardware stores and we think we found a solution. While we know that our wonderful Jeff Dever will pull his very hardest, we need some push power from behind. So our construction department believes that we can use PVC pipes to create and push bar for the back of the float. Pretty creative huh?

So here is a little schedule of what's going to be going on and what you can look forward to on this amazing blog.
August 1 or 2- we are going to try to get the push bar assembled
August 7- is our official PRE BABY PARADE PLANNING DAY!!
               We will have half of the Baby Parade participants and families in OC so we will
               be planning the actual day and putting together some areas of the structures
August 8-10- These are our final preparation days before the Baby Parade
August 11- THE BIG DAY!!!!!!! BABY PARADE 2011

Look for plenty of blog posts coming your way in the next 10 days

Keep on Parading
