Our ward primary children had a parade last Friday morning in honor of Pioneer Day. They got together at the Primary president's house and decorated their bikes, scooters, etc. and then paraded around our neighborhood. (Fortunately in Utah, our neighborhood is pretty much our ward boundaries, so they don't go far!)
We all sat out on our lawns and clapped and whistled while they rode by. My girls LOVED it! They got to throw candy, just like a "real" parade.
After the parade, everyone met back at the Primary president's house for treats. One man in our ward owns a detail cleaning business, and has a high pressure sprayer that he was spraying to keep the kids cool. My children, as you can imagine, got SOAKED! It was a fun way to celebrate!

How fun...I understand you have had some really hot weather...our parade was around the church parking lot...led by a young lady on a motorized scooter...needless to say it was the fastest parade in history.....they went around the curch 3 times in about 5 minutes!
Your pictures take me back 50 years when we too had an annual Primary Pioneer Parade. We would also decorate our bikes and little red wagons. And parade throughout the neighborhood for the parents. What a great memory! I'm grateful your community continues that sweet bit of Utah heritage!
Those are some happy kids! What a fun activity. I love seeing all your pictures of your beautiful children.
