Benfer Book Parade

As now a seasoned mother of school age children, there are certain events that happen that truly signal that another school year has come and gone. If you are a Benfer Bobcat, one of those rights of passage is the annual Benfer Book Parade. Each classroom picks a book and all of the children in that class dress up reflecting the book. This happens every year at the Strack Track. While the children happily march around the track, the parents still in the stands facing the direct sun wondering just how many grades are there in elementary?!?!? The kids love it though and isn't that what it is all about.

Brittany had to play the part of a princess in this years book parade. I know it was a real stretch! Since she has always believed she was a princess.

In the middle of this elephant costume, you can see Allison's feet. She got to be the middle of the elephant. Quite the honor!

Here are Caitlyn, Garrett and Brandon watching the parade go by.

Here is what Brandon truly felt about his 1st Benfer Book Parade. Do you think I should tell him how many more of these he can look forward to?

This is a picture of all the classes lined up after the parade. You can see all the kids in the distance. That is a lot of Benfer Bobcats!!
