Nataly Loves a Parade!

Last weekend we went out to Howard Lake for a parade. Annalisa's boyfriend lives there and he has a big party for everyone to watch the parade go right by his house. It was great.

A parade in a small town is great. It is just like you remember it as a kid. Firetrucks, beauty queens, high school bands, a beer tent and face painting. There aren't any floats sponsored by Target or Walmart and they still throw candy. And lots of it! All of the floats were local businesses and they were essentially a truck pulling a trailer.

Nataly sat on the curb with her bag open and yelled to the people as they drove by. She yelled "More Candy" and the people delivered. They were throwing hand fulls of candy towards her bag. It was like Halloween for her.

Nataly got a puppy dog painted on her face.She picked it. Next she got a temporary tattoo of Hello Kitty (aka poppy Cat). We havent been able to wash her arm all week. She wont let us, she's afraid it will wash off.

 Beauty queens. On the curb, not in the car.

 Lucy wasn't that into it. We just hung out on the blanket and she watched the parade every once in a while. 

No big deal to her.
