Nothing like that first parade of the season--unless maybe it's the first parade of your life! This July 4th was Cora's first, and now Amara is an old hand at it. I love this pic of her bending down looking--must have been far enough away to be more interesting than her popsicle and bucket of candy!
Giant skating dog--advertising the one and only Skate America in Grove City! Amara got to him first, but I'm pretty sure Jonathan got a "5" in there too.
Grandma Jackie trying to get a smile out of the hot and quickly fading Cora--daddy stepped in to help with Jonathan and Amara took over candy watch.
Waiting in anticipation of the firetrucks! The weather was SO dicey even pouring on the way there--I think the bands and about half of the entries pulled out last minute. The parade was still great, pulled up right at parade time and assumed our usual spot, joined by Miss Sarah and Jonathan--it was a great morning!
Another attempt at a quick family shot--one of these days...but funny enough, you can see the impending storm rolling in in the back. Man it got dark fast!
Miss Sarah and Jonathan posing--in between "interesting" parade entries of course. We've learned you have to time your photo ops to when there's nothing else going on--or when there's someone funnier than the surroundings behind the camera at least.
What? kids don't like coupons or fliers? um--don't remember those from my childhood, but I'll take them! Amara especially loved it when the kids or cheerleader types would run by and give her candy or a flier.
Classic entry--maybe the parade marshall? Again, note the wet blacktop...I tell you, it POURED just minutes before--but after hyping the parade, I was so glad it went off and that Miss Sarah and Jonathan and Grandma and Grandpa Jahn could all join in.
