OCEANSIDE INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE

On Saturday morning Rena and Maleah were in the Oceanside Independence Day Parade with their Cheer Team, The CYSU All Stars - (California Youth Spirits Corp.).

They had to be there at 9 o'clock (an hour before the parade) so Megan & I took the girls and then met everyone else there to watch. We had to first stop at Walmart that morning before heading to the parade, though, because as I was reading through the information from their captain the day before I realized they needed white shoes.....and, of course, neither of the girls own a pair of plain white shoes. So, after making a few phone calls and sending text messages to friends to try to borrow shoes we ended up at Walmart bright and early before the parade.

Luckily, we found them!! AND they were only 3 bucks......how lucky was that??? Had I started looking for them earlier I probably would have ended up spending 30 bucks on each of them. AND, even luckier, the Walmart shoes didn't even give the girls blisters during the parade.....

Here they are at the parade, with their team, ready to march.....

After dropping the girls off with their team Megan and I met up with the rest of our group to find a spot to watch the parade and wait for the girls. Bonnie, Kate, Jeff, Me, Megan, Dad, Cameron and Alex.....

Bonnie, Stacy, Kate and Jeff.....

Me and my favorite niece, Megan.....

Megan, Dad, Cameron and Alex.....

Here they come!!! They are in the row closest to us, Rena is the 3rd one back with her pom poms down and Maleah is behind her (with a really large gap between them) with both of her pom poms up in the air......

Here's Maleah -- first one in the row closest to us.....

After the parade the girls got specials cheerleading medals......

They both did a great job and had a lot of fun!
