Carson Valley Days Parade

We love the Carson Valley Days parade. The kids spent the night at my parents the night before and we met them in Gardnerville for the hot air balloon launch before the parade. Unfortunately, when we got there, the balloon launch had been cancelled because of wind. That parade was still fun though. We've learned to bring big bags to these parades. I think we ended up with 8 beach balls, a Frisbee, a years supply of tooth brushes and writing utensils, 4 free passes to the swim center, necklaces, and as much candy that their bags would hold. It was fun to see people we recognize in the parade that we haven't seen in a long time.
