Parade

D, J and K waiting for the parade

 This was the first time in over 10 years that I made it to the Canoe Fest parade.  I was so excited to take my kids for the first time.  I know that sounds silly, but I have such fond memories of this festival!   We have always had a newborn and it is either increidbly hot or raining so I haven't been able to take them.  This year it was still very very hot, but they are finally old to handle the heat better.  We always knew D and K had a small issues with sensory overload, however D did not fair so well with the Fire Trucks!  We had a mini melt down and then he hid in the condo hallway with Grammy J.

Poor C got a whole bucket of water
dumped on her!

The kids all had a blast, which made it an even better day for me!  We got to see our dear friends children march in an amazing band!

All in all it was a great day, and I am so happy to finally have been able to do this with my kids!

C waiting also!

D and E waiting out the noise!

I can't believe how much candy they got!

D and K completely out!
