During half time of conference we got a chance to get out and head to the daffodil parade in town. This is the first time we've gone to it so we weren't really sure what to expect. The kids were just excited to have the sun shining and to get outside. As we waited for the parade to begin Andrew decided he was going to be the parade and danced around in the street :} He was a one man show for all.
The whole parade experience wouldn't be complete without some cotton candy treats which we all enjoyed. Not so much Andrew as the texture was a bit weird for him so he got some M&M's I happen to have in my bag. Gotta love the sugar rush for the kids. It helped get them settle in their seats for the big event.
Once the parade got going it captured both kids attention. They loved checking out the bands and floats. Andrew loved to say "Hi" to just about everyone that passes. Megan loved telling me what she wanted me to take a picture of. Basically all the "pretty" floats were a must for her.
I think the big favorite was the pirate ship. It blasted out a cannon and a pirate came up and gave each of the kids a silver pirate coin. They loved it and had the biggest grins on their faces. Andrew wasn't even interested in what was coming next as he watched the pirate ship disappear down the street.
There were tons of school bands playing groovy songs, there were nice floats, clowns, pirates, classic cars, horses, and more. The kids enjoyed themselves and it was a good little outing for the family. It is fun to just be together.
