Bath Community Day!

A great time was had by all at the
Bath Community Day Parade and Celebration.

The wee ones, moms, and even the dads enjoyed marching in the parade, waving, passing out and collecting goodies (the dads got the hang of it when they figured out they shouldn't throw a bag of Kellogg's fruit treats at kids ... but instead hand them, it hurts less).

The event was much bigger than we imagined, so many people, and really cool demonstrations (I had no idea there were so many people in Bath familiar with the Martial Arts and capable of breaking boards with their fists, it gave me a whole new perspective). There were lots of families and smiles on every one's faces! Love it, love it, love it!

We've already welcomed Joy, a new student, as a result of the Community Day, along with her two youngest, Tess and Madison. Her two older boys are at summer camp, but we hope to meet them again at the picnic this Sunday!

Enjoy some of the pics from the parade, stay healthy, and keep a positive attitude!

We've never had so much fun at a parade!

As many of you know, StrollerFit Akron/Medina participated in the Fairlawn Independence Day Parade. AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN! Thanks to our StrollerFriends moms who joined us, too!!

First let me say Kudos to the organizers, it was well put together and a much larger event than I thought!

Second let me tell you what an experience is was for Lohen, and I think all the kiddos there. He was mesmerized by the practicing drum cores prior to the kickoff, he loved the fire trucks and the choo choos, and saying hi to all the characters in costume - way more than you get from just watching on the sidelines. The free lollipops the people at the train kept giving him were a bonus, too (although not my favorite part).

All the kids LOVED being the center of attention and waving at all the folks from the community out to watch the parade go by, and I was happily surprised with all the applause we received from other moms, and families in general, for being active, healthy moms! It's so great to feel all that support. SO MOMS ... COME AND JOIN US! I've posted some fun shots from the event.

We're hoping to participate in the Bath Community Days parade, and perhaps in Barberton, too ... I'll keep you posted. If you'd like to join us, let me know! It's so much fun for the kids (and for us, too). Have a healthy and fabulous day! I hope it's as sunshiny where you are as it is out my window too.
