Down River Days Parade time

 Who doesn't love a parade?  And then you throw into the story the fact that we live in a very small town and it becomes even more endearing.  While I could inundate this post with pics of all the things we saw while watching the parade, I am going to pass on that and post pics of my cuties.

First we have the ever changing 10 month old darling Isabella.  She is crawling everywhere and did pretty well just watching all the exciting parts of the parade.

 Then we have my photo fiends, Haylie and Hunter.  They are too cute for words in my opinion.  This was the pre-parade photo to help pass the time as mommy got us to the parade 1hr early... oops.  But hey, we got to sit in the shade.

 Cant help but post both of the shots as the second one is a little sweeter.

Then we have the three amigos.  Our friends visited us from 4 hours away and these three were practically inseparable. 

So, then I started taking photos again to try and pass some time and these were the faces I was getting.  All three of them are adorable and completely ridiculous! 

Finally the parade started.  Now we got to see Daddy riding on his horse for work.  We think he is pretty amazing and for those who don't know him, he is the one carrying the BP flag. 

Overall I think the horses performed smashingly considering that there were a bunch of noisy people, vehicles, and distractions everywhere.  Plus that guy second from the right is pretty darn cute! 

The kids started noticing that people were throwing things from the vehicles going by in the parade.  Wait, whats that?  ITS CANDY!!!! 

And then began the chaos... 

Followed by continuous scavenging for candy.

Overall it was a nice time out and a cute little parade.  The kids were fun to watch as they got excited, curious, annoyed (by noise and each other), and more than anything had fun.  It was a great time and always nice to be able to enjoy something in our town of 400 people.
