East Cobber Parade

While Chris was off doing yet another triathlon somewhere I can’t remember ( and yes he won another award for “Big Boy” division) I decided to take the kids up to Johnson’s Ferry Rd to watch the parade. What a nice way to start off the Fall, it was a beautiful morning. We have never been before and the kids had a blast. Not knowing what to expect (and not prepared with bags for candy) we came home with more candy than what you get on Halloween! No lie, everyone in the parade (except people playing instruments) threw out candy. Mason had a blast gathering as much as he could, Buie got tired so he only gathered a little bit(but eats a lot of Mason’s), Celie on the other hand wanted to eat every piece she picked up! I couldn’t count the number of piece of candy she ate and threw and to try the next kind. Anyway, other than all the candy we came home with, we had a blast.

You can’t see it, but the kids loved the person dressed up as a Dalmatian in the front seat.

Celie’s favorite part were all the bands (Walton, Wheeler, Pope) that came by playing music and she got to dance.

I was trying to distract them from all the candy

Dancing Queen! She even earned her beads!

Buie was fascinated by these people! Well they didn’t throw out any candy, but they were dressed up like people from Star Wars. The guy in white (Stormtrooper) pointed his gun right at him and it made his day!
