The boys and I went to our first ever parade together! The Hazel Dell Parade included 26 marching bands this year who were all really rehearsed! We parked at Mong & Pop's house and walked down to the bottom of the street with our wagon. It was so convenient to not have to worry about parking, especially since the news reported that between 20,000 and 25,000 spectators were watching. Made me think back to all the years I watched my sisters march in the parade. Mong joined us, and Great-Grandma Lolo was in town and got to be there, too.
Dominic and Elliott were absolutely smitten with all the music and drumming. Elliott kept dancing every time a band would play, and he also waved "bye-bye" to all the folks who were waving to him. So cute! Dominic got into the waving a bit later, and caught on to the candy catching also. He even ended up getting to eat free ice cream bar that one parade truck was handing out.
Both boys loved the fire trucks, and Dominic really liked seeing the old tractors too.
Dominic liked seeing "Old McDonald"
Another favorite... tractors!!!
