Saturday we went to the Alpine parade and all of the elements of a festive parade were covered.Horses and riders. Check! Highschool bands and flag teams. Check! Fire trucks and firehouse mascots. Check! Beauty queens and princesses riding on the trunks of fancy model cars. Check!
Streets lined with onlookers, young and old. Check!
My kids accounted for 4 of the onlookers, yet they weren't quite excited by the same thing that the other onlookers were excited by. My 4 would most likely fail, if given a test on which participants were involved in the parade.
Because my four were much more excited and amused by the handfuls of candy that were being thrown their way. These handfuls of hard candy were being thrown at such speed, it was like shrapnel being spit from a high powered gun. I was honestly concerned that if a piece happened to hit them in the head, it would be so deeply lodged, that it would need to be surgically removed by a specialist.
Luckily, no one was pelted with hard candy, so need to visit the emergency room.
The only place we'll be heading....to the dentist's office to have cavities filled!
