We headed down town to meet up with our friends. I laughed so hard at the girls "patiently" waiting on the arrival of their friends.
Boredom didn't last long. Our friends arrived and the parade soon began.
We watched, waved our flags and picked up more candy than I imagined possible.
Seriously, it was insane. My pocket were stuffed leaving me looking like I had a lovely beer gut, HA!
Candy in your hood, why not! Crazy, just plain crazy. All we needed was tons more candy a week after Halloween.
But, we sure did have a blast!
And what would be an outing with "the crew" if we didn't stop to take a group photo.
What a great opportunity for such a fabulous learning experience!!
ReplyDeletehahaha, waiting so patiently...love it. That is what I remember about parades...being thrown candy! I didn't think it was still a thing. And, naturally you need lots more right after Halloween. Loving the beer gut. Really letting yourself go after that half marathon huh?
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome opportunity to teach the kids about our service men and women, and all the scarifies they make to keep us safe and free!
ReplyDeleteLet's also talk about the "bored" picture. I'm DYING! And, I'm more than loving the picture with the service member handing out high fives along the parade route.
