The Chief Comes to Headquarters!

Jeff Dever finds a shopping cart.

Jeff Dever was working hard for the BPAC and got a little messy in the process!

There was great excitement at BPAC today as the chief came to town! Yes folks, that's right our very own chief, Jeff Dever is now at headquarters! Believe it or not this is Jeff's first baby parade, as a member of the float caravan. He watched the parade in 2009, but he is very excited to be apart of the parade this year. Chief was very busy today, he worked, he played and of course led the clan. Check out beow to see what the Chief was up to today!
Keep on Parading!

Jeff Dever scopes out his future land!

Jeff Dever sure does love M&ms

A and E come to Headquarters

A pulls E in a mini test run!

E and A working hard on some paint touch ups on our main float!

Today there was lots of work and play here at the BPAC! A (our director of international affiliates) and E (our spiritual director) were here today (along with the director for the parading of babies, N)having fun and working hard on our float! Some of our other department heads, K(our art director) and Jeff Dever (our head of transportation) will be chauffeured by our matriarch and one of her close friends/body guard :-). While we were anxiously awaiting their arrival tomorrow we did some touch ups and had a mini test run with the girls! Here is a quote from A, who was recently in England: "This is by far a much more internationally accepted theme than Thomas and Friends". Above are some pics of what was going on today at BPAC!

Welcome to Baby Parade Week!

It has been a crazy day for the BPAC but a super productive one. We had about half of our baby parade participants and their mommies and daddies in Ocean City to help prepare. First up we worked on the wagon. We had our construction team there and most importantly our wagon master. He worked hard and it is starting to come together.

Wagon Master and CEO working hard.

Next we started to work on the float. We secured the wood on top of the wagon and began  final preparations. We still have a bit to do on the float but it is looking really good.

Construction head JV tests if the float can hold his weight. 

Once we were sure that it could hold the weight we started minor decorative steps. There is still more to come artistic wise but you'll have to wait until August 11 to see that!

The beginnings of an awesome float!

We got a lot done today but the last thing we needed to do was test it out with some of our BPAC participants JP,BP,and KM.

Just imagine 3 more kids on here :-)

3 Days and Counting and we still have some things to do but we are confident that this Baby Parade will be one to remember!!!

Keep on Parading!

648599 Seconds!

Or just in case you are not a math wizard that means less than 8 days until Baby Parade. We are sooo excited and we will just give you a little sneak peek about our theme of our float.

Can't believe that Baby Parade is a week away!!!!!! Were going to bring home the gold.

9 Days and a HUGE Accomplishment

9 days left to go and we made some Excellent progress today!!!! Our own JV made a push bar for our gigantic wagon and expansion. For now it is lightly bolted in before we transport to OC but we are sooo excited that this has been completed. This has been a huge worry for the BPAC for so long now and with 9 days left to go we have it done.

Check it out!!

This push bar should hopefully make it a little easier for Jeff Dever to push!
