Smile

What makes Lexi Blackburn smile? “Playing outside on our playset in the backyard.” What makes Jenna Blackburn smile? “Doing funny jokes.” Lexi was 3 years old, and Jenna was 5 years old, and they were found in 2021 watching the Noblesville Fourth of July Parade on Logan Street with brother, Brooks, then 1, and parents, Adrienne and Skylar Blackburn. The sisters were both dressed in red, white and blue tulle skirts and Disney-themed tops. Favorite part about the parade? “I like when they throw out candy,” Jenna said. Their favorite candies? “Tootsie Rolls.” Favorite summer pastime? “Playing outside on our playground in our backyard,” Lexi said. “I swim in my grandma’s pool,” Jenna said. Favorite songs? “Dance Monkey,” Jenna said. “The Backwards ABCs,” Lexi said. Favorite movies? “My Little Pony,” Lexi said. “Bluey,” Lexi said. Favorite Disney movie characters? “Elsa” (from “Frozen,”) Jenna said. “Jasmine,” Lexi said. Fun plans for last summer? “I’m doing swim lessons, and so is she (at Stony Creek Swim Center),” said Jenna, who was then also starting dance classes at Farber’s Tumble, Dance & Cheer in Noblesville. During the 2021-22 school year, Jenna was a kindergartner at Hinkle Creek Elementary, where Lexi was in the Little Millers preschool program. The family attended the Noblesville Fireworks Festival at Forest Park that evening. This year, Noblesville Fireworks Festival and Parade are on Tuesday, with the parade at 4 p.m. through downtown Noblesville, and the Fireworks Festival 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Forest Park, where fireworks will be displayed at 10 p.m. Admission is free.
