Who doesn't love a parade??? I mean, where else can you sit happily for about an hour with none of your kids yelling, screaming, or arguing with each other? Needless to say, I LOVE them! On a warm night in July, we headed to a neighboring town for its annual Fireman's Parade and Picnic. We typically always venture out for this particular parade as my dad ends up walking in it for his work. This year was no different! Dan, myself and the boys all found our spots by Aunt Jackie, Uncle Steve, Henry and of course Nana - wheelchair and all, as she was still non weight bearing from her Slip in Slide ankle break! Joining us this year though was Uncle Bryan and Alyssa as well as my brother's best friend - Brandon all up from Memphis as Bryan and Brandon were in a golf tourney with my dad that weekend! (Brandon, Uncle Bryan, Alyssa and Nana!)
Here is our crew! We found a cute little spot in front of this colorful house! Check out how happy and calm everyone looks and we were WAITING! Never are my boys so patient as they are before a parade! :)
The calmness died down as the parade began! Here are the four kids scurrying around for their candy! (N0tice Aunt Jackie standing guard - she was definitely working the kid control!)
And here is what his five grandkids were all waiting for - PAPA JACK and CANDY!!! Papa certainly filled all their bags!
The parade is over and they are adorned with beads and bags full of candy! What an awesome night with family! The kids' smiles are definitely contagious in this pic!
