Memorial Day Parade
Jenison has a parade every Memorial Day, last year it was rained out . . . this year the kids could really appreciate the excitement of free candy and all the entries. Rather than walking to the end of our street and settling for the left over candy at the end of the route, we ventured up the street a mile of so where someone had saved seats (at 7 am). (Thanks J!)
I think Briella's favorite was the float of fake animals that waved, although later she told me the frog had candy in his hand and did not give it to her :( Her least favorite were the various fire trucks making loud noises.
Gideon loved the trucks, including an INONTIME truck that I didn't take a picture of . . . and this mini Tonka truck. The low point for Gideon was when some boy scout lobed a candy really high and it nailed Gideon's eyebrow (he had a red mark from it).

Love the group shot! TOo bad about the lobbed candy bomb. That ca be a parade fun-killer. At least until the next candy comes!
Actually, he was crying on Stephan's shoulder and then his eye caught the truck coming and that was enough to stop crying :) Distraction is an amazing thing.
