Parade Day!

Every year, our town stops for this parade. People put chairs out on the curb early in the morning to ensure a good seat. Shops and restaurants close for a couple of hours. And how lucky are we? The parade goes right by our house!

Since the parade also opens the county fair and rodeo, we let Cupcake have her birthday boots early.

And then we waited for the parade to come.

When candy started flying, she was ready!

She lost interest after she was allowed to have a sucker, and hung out with a good buddy for a while.

And then she moved on to cousin Dakota, one of her favorite people.

I think the feeling is mutual. :)
