Homecoming parade

I took the girls to the homecoming parade. This year we made no effort to go get free pancakes, as in years past, it just wasn't worth the hassle (with 4 of them and just me.)

This year we picked a spot not near any parking or apartments. In years past, we have been near one of these places, and people ended up all around us. This makes it harder for the girls to get the candy people in the parade throw. This year, we were all alone in our little section. The girls enjoyed it.

Since we were the only ones standing there, everyone looked over at the gorls, who waved and charmed their way into a lot of candy. Luckily, I was wearing cargo pants, they filled them with candy.

There was too much candy to fit in our candy jar, but that didn't really stop us...

Ruth really enjoyed the candy, that's not blood or anything, it's an A&W Root Beer candy... They all got baths after the parade.

Back in the day, the parade went right by Rob and Russ's bedroom window. In those days, watching the parade, and begging for free stuff was a much warmer experience....
