110 in the Parade

This past Saturday our cast put on our shiny new costumes

 and shiny new shoes to hoof it in the Orem Summerfest Parade 

 the gang

The theater had this sweet 1940's Ford truck to accompany us 

and blast out our music for us to dance along to.

Me hoping to drive it and the boys setting up the sound system

It was nice to have said truck when we got a little tired from polking

Dancin' a Hoedown

To hop up and hitch a ride and rest aching feet. 

pleased to rest my blistering feet   

By the end some still looked fresh

aren't they precious?

 

But I looked like this:

 get me out of these shoes!

Although our little hooves hurt, it was a blast to be with friends

and promote our awesome show.

And the weather even cooperated with us. 
Then it was off to watch the fireworks.

It was perfect.
I love me some summer!

Somethings....

I have never understood. 

Like:

Why is it trendy to take pictures on train tracks?

 Is it the hangout spot of your family?

Do you frequently let your children play on said tracks 

and therefore want to capture them in their play environment?

Are you wishing a train will come by so you don't have to be a parent anymore? 

Do you have reasons for being one of these offenders?

Really....humor me. 

I'm curious to know the logic behind the trend.

Don't get me wrong, the pictures look pretty cool.

And I'm all for a sweet pic of a train track like this:

But sticking kids, your family, or even worse,

yourself (for engagements) in this picture.....is odd.

It's not natural, people.

Find a new trend.

And not the couch in the middle of a field one.....
