We love a parade

We're late posting these photos. Last weekend we all went to the Wallingford Kiddie Parade and it was a hoot. The idea is that kids can just show up to be in the parade without registering ahead of time and they are encouraged to wear costumes. Some marching bands and a few organized groups like the cub scouts hold the thing together. Rosie and Augie loved watching the kids go by.
Here they are waiting patiently in their strollers for the parade to start.
Rose watches one of the awesome drill teams that marched in the parade.
Here's Augie watching the action. It was really good time for the kids to wear their "tethers." We've all had a hard time getting used to them, but they both loved having a little freedom to walk in front of our viewing spot and we loved not having to jump up and retrieve them every few minutes. This last photo has nothing to do with the parade, I just thought it was a funny picture of August immersed in reading the news. Actually, he's holding a copy of a nursing newsletter I get and I think he's got it upside down.
