Parade on Monday in Roswell-- schools cancelled for we don't know what reasons-- and everyone in the town played a part, either as participants or viewers, or so it seemed. First came NMMI-- the real reason we were there-- almost a thousand kids marching.
and some not.
Then there were the police and the fire departments with their equipment. Politicians pranced around next, throwing out candy and handing out cards. Then came the floats of football and soccer, cheerleaders and lots of little kids. The Future Farmers of America were there as well as the Girl Scouts. There was the farmers market and the arts association.
Even the health care facility had a part in the parade, with a float bearing residents in wheel chairs! ( Will that be Bill and Susi in the future? After all, we will always want to be traveling!!!)
Post-parade we had a brief tour of NMMI, and then Megan and a good friend, John, were raring to be off to do something fun, like go to the fair. NMMI is an impressive campus, and I loved seeing the newbies walking single file and cutting square corners-- wherever they go on campus.

After some time at the fair the kids came back and got into civvies- swim suits so they could swim and boat in the inflatable.
Darkness came quickly and soon it was time to get back into uniform and return to "the box."
