Homeschoolers on Parade

Our homeschooling friends down the street had this great idea: why don't we march in the town parade?

Actually, she's got quite a few kids too, so with three families we had 16 kids, I think. Quite a respectable showing!

The Zoomlians helped make the banner the night before.



The morning of the big day, they decided it would be more fun to dress up!

The idea was to represent things we had actually studied recently, but the Emperor nixed the all Jedi idea.

So Mxyl went as a robotics engineer: lab coat, safety glasses and a robot arm waving a flag.

Klenda went as biologist: lab coat, big glasses and microscope.

Zorg wore a cowboy/frontier outfit from our US History unit: he was carrying the banner and would bow with a theatrical sweep of his hat to all the onlookers. He was a huge hit!

Leena continued the theme by being dressed as a Native American.

Choclo and Oob both wore lab coats. I overheard someone remark, "It must be a science club."

Super fun!!
