Tour de Fat

We went to the annual Tour de Fat in Old Town. There were over 15,000 people that rode in the parade this year! It was awesome. It's really fun to go see the creative costumes people come up with.
Some of my favorite were:
"Gold Diggers"--a group of ladies dressed in gold sequens, painted gold with tool belts on
"Vikings"--Cardboard cutouts of viking ships on each side of their bikes, with full Viking attire
"PackMan being Chased by ghosts"--A huge cut out of Packman hanging infront of a bike, the man on the bike, his wife and kids following along, dressed as the Packman Ghosts
One guy had a basket of sunflowers and pulled over and handed one to Addison. It was cute.The people next to us applauded him.
A couple people tossed out candy to the kids or rode by giving "high fives". Mcayden loved that.

After the parade, we went with our friends to the Brazil Fest. Addison couldn't get enough Guarana (delicious Brazilian pop) and Mcayden played with the grasshoppers.
