Parade

This past weekend was a relaxing one and it was much welcomed. As most of you all ready know, our annual parade was on Saturday. I was excited to take Colter but unsure how he would react to the sirens and sitting in his stroller the whole time. He was so good. He just sat there staring the whole time. I took him out of his stroller once, and he got fussy, so I put him back in and he was fine. This was his basically his first parade. I did take him last year, but he was only a month old. I can't wait until next year when he may actually be able to participate in the candy gathering. Well, may be I can.

I was a little disappointed with the parade this year. It seemed there were hardly any bands and the floats were nothing special. It looked like they just threw them together a 1/2 hour before the parade started. Sad. I think next year, I am going to throw together a float and show them what a float is suppose to be. Perhaps it could be the blogger mom float. LOL!!! Yes, I am crazy.

Other than having a glorious cold, not much has been happening. I am planning on getting to Sears to pick up Colters pictures on friday. I have a birthday party to attend on Saturday and I thought it would be nice to get much of my family their pictures then. Then I will have less to mail. So hopefully this next week, the rest of family will be receiving their pics. As long as I don't forget. I still have CRS.

That's all for now. I hope you all have a great Thursday! I leave you with a few pictures of parade day. Enjoy!

I heard that the parade was kind of disappointing. I didn't go as I was in Sioux Falls spending all my money..he he :)!! Hopefully they can get it together in the next few years since this is really the only parade they have each year! I think you should do a float to show everyone how it's done :)!!

LOVE the pictures! So happy Colter did good at the parade.

Have a great day Miah!!

Looks like the boys had a good time at the parade! Love the pictures.

I have always been a little disappointed in Madison. Being from a small town that had a lot of heart, it appears that Madison doesn't have much heart as a community. You would think that with the size of town this is, they could put together some excellent events, but it seems like it is falls short most times. To bad, really really makes me sad.

Blogger mom float...what a great idea!! It would be the best float in the parade!!

Cute pictures...It is like Colter knew Tanner was giving him bunny ears!

I am glad Colter got to go to the parade. He looks like he is having lots of fun. I think you should do the float thing next year. connie from Texas

I think that the only reason you want Colter to partake in the candy is so that you don't look like a dork pushing other kids out of the way - again. (ha!)
