“Small” Parade

posted in General |

We went, this year, to our neighborhood parade; Miss B, Baby K, and I. I expected it to be a lot … smaller than our city parade (the Rose Parade) but it exceeded all of our expectations. It went on for hours! Miss B sat with our neighbors, who knew about a third of the people in the parade. We had a lot of cars, a few bands (including 5 High School students marching in protest about their band program being cut), some horses, some greyhounds, some firetrucks. It was a good parade, and the feel was smaller and more local; it processed slowly down the street, handing out candy and waving at the kids. As they drove past our spot, many of the people shouted out kudos for the excellent chalk drawings.

Baby K actually waved (her first parade, her first waves) at some of the people in the parade. And when they passed out little flags to wave, she got her own.

Look Aunti R– I put up a Gallery.

    I’m telling you, those flags are Mmm Mmm Good! (that was adorable, reminds me of when I last had a flag to wave around…nothing like your boss at work telling you to stop eating the flags to put life in perspective).

    Hmmm…didn’t think your family was the flag waving kind…

    It appears you have a rebel in your midst. And she thinks they are yummy!

    [...] The parade was this morning. Miss B was enthusiastically getting us ready to go. Mrs B was working, so it was just the girls and me. Miss B got Miss K all dressed up and changed and everything– then Miss K was super-excited about going for a walk to the parade, ran outside, and tripped over the threshold, landing nose first on the concrete porch about nine inches below.
