I had to be dorky and get the kids to wear red, white, & blue today while none of them realized they had a choice.
Waiting for the parade to start.
Here comes the first float: noisy fire trucks and police cars!
The girls were excited about their temporary tattoos! (These were really just stickers, not "real" temporary tattoos.)
I don't think they believed me that they'd be getting candy at the parade. The difference is now they hand out the candy instead of throwing it. A couple groups dropped it in front of the kids but there were no mad rushes of mobs of kids like I remember when I was a kid!
He was so happy to get that flag!
Democrats exist in Texas!
One of our neighbors is on this float (and we saw a few of our old-neighborhood neighbors in another float).
This was one of the girls favorite floats.
We walked to the parade today and it was super hot. We brought the double stroller so the girls took turns riding in it. If you ask Sarah how sweaty she got today she will tell you she was so sweaty that she "sweat off her temporary tattoo!"
Everyone loved the parade but Henry was the most fun to watch get excited by the different floats going by. Next year, however, we may just drive over in the air conditioned car!
