Yesterday was Pet Parade in the Santa Fe Fiestas. La Casita had a float which was the Old woman who lived in the shoe (she had so many childern but she KNEW what to do) Several of the dads and some others built a fabulous shoe which Lynn, our teacher rode in and the children and parents pulled along. Liam was a very enthusiasitc puller. He also wanted to tie his rope onto himself and all sorts of other things.
There were heaps of people watching the parade and many of them called out to Lynn, one mother called out saying this was (I can't remember the boys name) and he went to La Casita and now he's second year in college. Lynn was delighted. Hopefully we'll get some photos but I left my camera behind.

A most successful parade. I also appreciated the link to the Fiesta site which explains the history, although "every autumn for 294 years" is pushing it considering the gaps described in other descriptions.
Particularly interesting to read about "the parish church built by Fray Benavides in 1692 and destroyed by the Indians in 1680."
