We met some friends at the Cottleville parade the Sat. before St. Patrick's Day. We didn't expect so many people. WOW! As soon as we got there, Evan lost his little canvas tote I bought the kids for parade candy. That was a long 15 minutes of searching/backtracking our steps...no luck= crying.
(he waited with our lunchbox for candy!)We settled down in our chairs and Leah informed me she has to go to the bathroom. I found a police officer and asked where porta-potties were. He had no idea. So, we walked further down the road and asked another police officer. He had no idea either. We took a chance and walked into a store. Thank goodness they were nice enough to let us use theirs. When we got back to our chairs (we walked quite a ways down the road), Greg found out there were porta potties about 5 min. walking from our seats-the other direction! AUGH!
The parade was a long one and kind of a stinky one at that. We were sitting towards the end of the parade, so by the time the floats got to us, they didn't have ANY candy left. This was a disappointment to the kids, but they were happy they caught some green beads.
We still had fun with our friends!
