Parade!

This morning when I got up and opened the bedroom window I noticed unusual activity in the street behind our house. Eventually I realized that today was the Bowling Green "Holiday" Parade. When Liam saw the fire truck passing on Poe (one street over in front of the house) he got really excited. So on the spur of the moment I decided that Liam and I would go.


We made it out just as the parade was starting and got a pretty good spot. Liam really seemed to enjoy it. He liked seeing the horses, the bands and lots of cars and other things that say "beep." He started out in the stroller, but ended up on my lap. I sat on the curb. Part of the time Liam stood in the gutter. He wanted to crawl on the street, but I nixed that one.


Lots of the parade participants threw candy. I collected some of it since otherwise it would have just sat on the street. We now have a large bowl full of candy looking for takers. Liam thought that the cool thing about the candy was that people were throwing it. He tried to throw some back.
