Anyway, so this year we just enjoyed the parade. Marion walked down to the Lion's club hamburger stand and brought us back hamburgers to eat while waiting for the parade to start! Here are some pics of the kids at the parade:
Getting candy!
(did you notice Nathan still has his hamburger in his hand in the above picture?)
Marion's form of control...Jonny wanted to run everywhere and we had to keep tabs on him pretty closely. This allowed Marion to keep him within arms reach but yet allow him to move around some!
Here is a good one of all three of them during the parade.
Toward the end, Marion did let Jonny go and the friends next to us helped keep him in line. Here the kids are out gathering candy and Jonny is giving a stuffed animal to the 'baby' next to us!
After the parade, we went to the carnival again. Marion and I laughed because the 'ride' they enjoyed the most was the bouncing tigger! Bascially the aired up room they bounced in. Then as we were leaving, they asked to play in the park. We spent another hour in the park and they had just as much fun if not more so! It is such a blessing to have children who appreciate the simple things!
