When I was a kid this day was just as big to my family as the 4th was! My aunt Susan and uncle Don and their kids would go find a spot along the parade route the night before and they would camp out in their motor home then the rest of the family would join them in the morning to all watch the parade together. That was when they would throw candy to the crowds. I remember it being so much fun. I also remember having to walk for which seemed like forever to get to their spot. But it that was just the way it was. There were always a million people there. I am trying to bring back some of the things I did as a child so that Kylee would have the same wonderful memories! So Thursday morning we woke up about 6 to get to my moms by 7 so that we could find a spot. We found a pretty good one in the shade. Then about 9 it wasn't in the shade anymore, but we still had fun. My mom bought Kylee and Keltsie water bottles so they could spray them self's and say cool. But they ended up spray the people in the parade. It was so funny to watch people wondering where it came from, then other people loved it and asked for more! The kids had a blast. I remember it being a lot more fun. But that is kind of how alot of things work out! I had fun watching Kylee enjoy it!

The parade was way too hot, but Kylee looks happy anyway!
Cute pics! We were there and at one point I considered walking down to find you guys but then I realized I was already dying of heat stroke just SITTING there so I figured you'd understand!
Good idea on the spray bottles!
