But once the parade got started they really enjoyed it. As you can see above Eli was proudly waving his flag. Even Hayden sat still in my lap while waving and clapping as the parade went by. Hayden really enjoyed the bands and even the bagpipes...with his reddish hair perhaps he has a little more Irish blood than the others! Wesley, Eli, and Justus were having a great time catching and eating candy. One person stopped walking to ask if they were triplets and another lady handing out candy counted them (and looked surprised) as she went past. We get that a lot when they all wear matching shirts!
Roz and her friends Emily and Jesse sat with us. We yelled hello to all of her friends in the marching band. Thankfully, we also knew one of the girls handing out the Seroogy's this year or I don't think we would have gotten as many meltaways as we did. The boys favorites (besides candy) were the Oscar Mayer Hot Dog car (see picture above) and the Piggly Wiggly car!
