LIVING VICARIOUSLY

The Avon Marching Black and Gold left last Thursday morning via chartered plane to the sunny land of southern California to become a part of the Rose Bowl Parade. Not far behind were about two hundred plus parents, siblings and other relatives on commercial flights with the same destination of LAX.

All made it safely there and we at home lived their trip vicariously through emails, Facebook, television and photos sent through the Avon official Facebook site. It has been one heck of a wonderful trip and great memories stored for years to come.

The trip came to a rude awakening halt when the planes touched down yesterday at Indianapolis International Airport to temperatures in the 20’s and snow on the ground. Quite a difference from the previous night’s languishing in the hotel’s outdoor pool under the palms by the happy travelers!

We in Avon are proud of our kids, grandkids, cousins, nieces, nephews, siblings and friends who were part of this once-in-a-lifetime event. They looked and sounded great as they marched down Colorado Boulevard and conducted themselves exemplarily throughout their entire adventure! Now, they are safely back.

A great big WELCOME HOME!
