We decided to hit up the same parade we did last year, for July 4th. If we head the back way towards Broad st. you can literally park 100 yards in a parking lot, from where the parade passes by--PERFECT!
The parade was relatively early, I think 9:30, but having gotten up a little early and it being SO hot, we were anxious for things to start. Before long, we saw the flashing lights and balloons coming from the West and in a blink it was upon us. At first, Amara wasn't quite sure about the flying projectiles coming from the floats and walkers--but as soon as she realized some of these were suckers, she was all over it. Grandma and Grandpa helped collect her goodies while Eric and I took turns pointing out horses and bands and kids.
Something I'd never seen--there were at least 2 groups passing out popsicles and freeze-pops, a welcome treat on a hot day, but I was stunned.
Overall, we really enjoyed the parade. Lots of planes flying over, things to look at--and of course, candy :)
