August 7
Some of the new season of Wild Kratts have been really interesting… Crocogator was fun… comparing a crocodile and an alligator (Emanuel was later able to repeat this knowledge to a friend! So proud!).
We had another wonderful series of garage sale finds. I love finding books for a steal!!!
The night of the 7th was a parade! In fact, Karen (Renee’s sister) suggested we go to this one. It is a long time favourite of hers and we were more than happy to join here and Cory for the event.
Of course we got there early to get decent parking and lucked out with a Catholic church/school with an adjoining playground. We actually ended up at the end of the beginning of the parade so it was easy to know when to return to our choice spot.
Karen is a HUGE fan of parades and was right there with the kids trying to get the big trucks to honk their horns and cheering on everyone.
She was a great sport, even getting a big black mustache with oil make up that the kids were TOTALLY not going for.
there was a florist handing out roses to all the ladies as well.
And a group right at the beginning that gave out carrots. ECHO loved that as did Ken and Cory.
So many cowboy hats and as usual around here, princesses.
We finished off our evening with dinner and a visit at our house. Talk about an amazing once a year experience (as that is the grand total of parades Ken is willing to go to). Thanks for the heads up and for joining us Karen and Cory!!
