Busy weekend! Also the start of the Vancouver summer!!! On Saturday,Miss Teenage South Western BC 2016 – Madison, Miss Teenage Lower Mainland 2016 – Gabriella, Miss Teenage Langley township 2016 – Mikaela, and I went on a sunny ride down Hastings in North Burnaby for a wild adventure in the jungle-themed parade. The Heights community means a lot to me because my high school is actually right around the corner! It was a bundle of fun as we waved at crowds of people while jamming to the music of marching bands. Although beads of sweat gathered on our brows and our face muscles twitched because we held smiles for so long, it was all worth it as we watched the excitement grow in the neighbourhood, and we were so happy to be a part of this amazing event!
Special thank you to Mikaela’s father for the spectacular vehicle! This morning would not have been possible if we didn’t have such a beautiful ride!
Stay tuned,
Ariel 💋
