On Monday we headed to the Woodlands (the city just north of Spring) for their parade. We got there probably about 30 minutes early, found the perfect escape parking spot, and a perfect spot on the side of the road in the shade. The only thing we forgot was chairs and our bums were hurting by the end from sitting on the curb.
Lilly trying to steal some stranger's chair.
Lilly's first catch of the day. A little American flag.
Second, a balloon for some politician's campaign. And this is before the parade even started. It was a welcome distraction.
This is when the parade started with all the firetrucks and police cars and all their sirens going off.
Lilly waving to all the people in the parade that wave at her.
Our best attempt at a family photo. Lilly was too interested in the parade obviously.
Lilly was full of funny faces that day.
Here you can see Lilly with her quarter. One of the banks that was in the parade was handing out quarters to the kids. Lilly had hers for about 7 minutes until she dropped it, it rolled away, and the kids next to us took it. Oh well.
And this is what happens when I ask her to smile. Beautiful.
I think Halloween will be a breeze this year. She already has the hang of it.
Asleep before we even got home. The parade was 2 hours long so it definitely wore her out!
All of Lilly's loot. Including candy, water bottle, t-shirt, sunscreen, bracelet, necklace, lanyard, 3 American flags, a pinwheel, stickers, a tatoo, and coupons for free food from Chick-Fil-A and a free ice cream cone. As well as a free popsicle for each of us that didn't make it home :)
