a night of friends, fun and flying candy


On Friday night we met up with some friends to watch our community parade. Lars and I expected about 15-minutes of fire trucks, police cars and perhaps the mayor riding in some sort of convertible, but much to our surprise the parade was filled with so much more and lasted for an hour and a half. The kids had a BLAST together waving to all the floats and picking up the candy (well, age inappropriate candy that can only be described as flying chocking hazards!) that was so gently thrown our way. MissA slept almost the entire time - even through all the loud sirens and horns that were constantly being blown. And the parade ended with cop cars rushing to the start of the parade where a non-law abiding citizen decided that he didn't want to be inconvenienced by the parade and drove through the barriers onto the parade route. Quite a finish to a very impressive community parade!
