We had every intention of getting up at the crack of dawn and going to see the balloon festival this morning. Our children had other plans, however. One or the other of them was up every hour all night long. Needless to say, when our alarm clock went off, Aaron and I decided to skip the balloons. But we did make it to the Art City Days Parade. We took the boys in the wagon and Adelia in the stroller. We got a front row seat too, which has never happened to me at a parade before.
It was a pretty good parade, although there weren't as many marching bands in it as I would have liked. The boys thought chasing after the candy was the coolest thing ever. Adelia was pretty good, and then fell asleep in her stroller for most of it (it was her nap time).
The best part was watching Ivan dance while the fiddle players' float went by. What a crack up. And I'll tell you what, I'd rather have my daughter play the fiddle a million times over than be in the skanky dance company that came right behind them. My word. There are just things 12-year-old girls should not do, or wear (or not wear, as the case my be), especially in public. But enough of that, here's a video of Ivan dancing for the fiddles.

Yay for parades! I remember getting free candy at parades so when Evan and I were at Disneyland last year waiting for their main street parade, I asked if they were going to throw candy and Evan thought it was the most absurd idea ever!
