I Love a Good Parade

Ready for the parade to begin

First time with a sucker...YUM!

This weekend, St. Peters had their Annual Old Tyme Fair. I had taken the kids to Fort Zumwalt South's Homecoming Parade when they were almost a year old. At that parade, they weren't too sure about all of the screaming and noises coming from the cars, but they loved the parade this time around. We brought their own little chairs for them to sit in; of which they only sat in them for part of the time. I thought for sure when the police officers rode up and down the street to tell us the parade was about to begin, Evan would freak out, but he didn't. He thought the motorcycles were so cool! However, he did NOT like the Shiner's go-karts. They were a little too loud. Once the floats started coming by with candy to throw out, Evan and Leah watched the other kids and quickly picked up on the excitement and joined in on gathering the candy from the street. (It was like Halloween. I ended up filling a gallon ziploc bag to the top with candy. Guess you get all the rest of the candy when you sit at the end of the parade route!)
Overall, the kids really enjoyed the parade and when you ask them if they want to go to another parade, they both smile from ear to ear and say, "yeah!"
