2008 Water Carnival Preparation begins...

Well...it is that time of year. That time of year where Coretta begins thinking about what she will be for the big Water Carnival Parade in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota in July. Last year, Coretta spent many a night writing down her ideas in her sketch book, before coming up with the idea to create a rock band. She decided that she and I would tye dye some t-shirts, accessorize these shirts, and bead their hair.

This year, after much deliberation, she has decided to be another unique creation, that being what she calls a Wacky Water Carnival Kid. She has come up with the idea of creating shirts for herself, her brother, Emilia, and Jack. Then, they would dress up totally wacky looking! So far her costume consists of a green and purple boa, a tiara, sunglasses, high socks, etc. etc. Today we went to Michaels and picked up the supplies we would need. Here was the result of our hard work!
