Saturday morning Caleb, Emma and I headed to downtown Nampa for Parade America. It is an annual parade every year in May honoring the our military and also for Memorial Day coming up.
We have brought the kids for the last 3 years, but this year was the first time that they actually understood that anything really was going on. It was a chore to get then to not run wild while waiting, but they really did quite well. Mommy just needs to relax a little bit more. I think I was so nervous that daddy was not there and we were so close to the road. Plus a lot of people. I was so thankful for the Bowerman's, our family friends from church. We go with them every year and they always help with the kids. Annie and Lexie love to play with and entertain Caleb and Emma. Of course, Dee Ann always helps be the "other parent" when I am by myself.
The parade got started and Caleb and Emma's eyes were glued to the sights. They watched so closely. It was so new to them.
THEN.......
the candy started to be thrown to us......
Oh my goodness, Caleb and Emma were so excited. Especially, Caleb! His eyes got huge and could get to it all fast enough. After the candy started to fly he did not sit down again!
Caleb loved all of it. He watched the bands.... the big trucks....they kids waving...the horses...all of it! He was not afraid of any of it. In all honesty, I think was on the look out for MORE CANDY!!! Ha Ha!
Emma, however, was not every excited about the bands and loud noises. She ran to me at every marching band and the loud horns. She did like the horses though and of course, the candy was a big hit with her as well!
Here are some pics for you to enjoy!
