2008 Bristol Mum Parade

Yesterday was the annual Bristol Mum Parade, the popular pinnacle to the week-long annual Bristol Mum Festival. And, fortunately for us, our new home was on the parade route. Sarah’s Dad and stepmother, Robbin, always have friends and family over for the day to enjoy the parade, cooler temperatures and changing leaves, but yesterday’s gathering was even more exciting since we also celebrated Robbin’s 50th birthday! The birthday theme was “everything-I-wanted-at-a-party-when-I-was-a-kid-but-never-had” and we had a BLAST with it. There was a clown with magic tricks, piñata, chocolate fountain, and of course, a parade! Robbin has also named her 50th year as the “Year of the Tiara” so of course, we played that up with not only a tiara, but a sash, scepter, and throne to boot! The day was beautiful, the company was entertaining, and the food was delicious! The best part had to be the various “Miss. Mums” that came riding by in the parade only to look up and see Queen Robbin with her crown!!
