Labor Day Parade

Parades are so much fun to see through a child's eyes. Henry loves a parade - the marching bands, the firetrucks and sirens, the Shriner's cars, the politicians (ok, maybe not the politicians) and THE CANDY!

On Labor Day we went to the annual parade in our town. It's our third year going to this parade and after two years of sitting in the hot sun gazing at the people sitting in the shade across the street, we finally caught on and got there early to get a shady across-the-street spot. It's a long parade, close to two hours, so every year we end up leaving early. This year we left early and with a bag full of candy.
