I gotta be honest, I’m not a parade person. It’s just not my thing. The only thing that may be worse than watching a parade is actually walking in a parade. Yep, yep that’s worse and I know this for a fact.

 

Annabelle’s girl scout troop walked in the local parade and I joined them to help keep an eye on the girls. I love this girl…and oh man, the things we do for the kids we love!

 

I made a few poor choices. I parked about a 1/2 mile away from the meeting point. We walked about 2 miles and then had to turn around walk back to the car after the parade. Oops. That was so much walking for the girls and they were exhausted.

 

Despite my poor choices, Annabelle really liked being in the parade and Gwyneth even joined us for part of the walk. Annabelle really liked handing out candy and Gwyneth equally enjoyed gathering a collection of candy. Both agreed it would be a lot more fun if they could ride on a float or sit on the back of a convertible and wave. I’m going to have to agree, that does sound quite lovely.

 

After the parade, Poppy and Melissa came down for dinner at Morton’s. We stopped by the kitchen to show them the progress. I wish I had before pictures to compare because it is really coming along although it looks a bit messy right now. We’re about 6 weeks out of opening. Woo hoo!
