Our little (very little) city celebrates its birthday with an annual All Fool’s parade the Saturday before April 1st. We went last year and the kids got more candy than they’ve ever gotten trick-or-treating, so Kyla and Piper have been asking about this parade all year.
I thought Kristin was one of my best friends (and she must be, to drive up to go to a rainy parade with my family!), but Kyla has claimed Kristin for herself.
There was still a light drizzle by the time the parade started, but with our raincoats, rain boots, scarves, and extra layers, we actually enjoyed ourselves and didn’t think much about the weather.
Ronald’s chauffer had the easy job. Ronald wasn’t so popular this time as he wasn’t giving out candy.
But the Easter Bunny was giving out hugs!
And high-fives! (And his helpers were giving out plastic eggs full of candy.)
Well, I thought we were all having fun. (Maybe it was just me.)
The Y had an (indoor) kids’ fair in conjunction with everything else. All the kids got their faces painted.
I will say that it took Dwayne and I a long time to go thr0ugh all the swag after the kids went to bed. Even after throwing a lot of it away, our goody basket is still fuller than ever. (It didn’t help that after All Fools’ Celebration, we went to a family birthday party. A party that had a very big, very stuffed piñata.)
