Thanksgiving Parade

Dave and I honestly couldn’t remember the last time either of us went to a Parade.   We both agreed that we were young, but that’s about as far as we got, lol.   Yesterday we took Ajax to Garden City’s SantaLand parade.  It was within walking distance from our home, so we packed up the stroller with snacks and blankets and walked up to get a prime spot.   While we were waiting for the parade to start, Ajax wasn’t really grasping the concept of a “parade” but he had a lot of fun watching to other people and pushing his stroller around.  As soon as the parade came into view, however, all fiddling ended and Ajax was transfixed.  He stood next to me (refusing to sit throughout the entire thing) and just stared for the first half of the parade.  He loved the fire engines and police cars, the motorcycles, and the marching bands.   He of course LOVED the candy that was handed out and ate three small candy canes throughout the parade.   By the end he was pretty wired.

He loves pushing his stroller around.

Watching the band
A parade of lawn mowers. Michigan. lol.
Ajax refused to look at the camera, he was star struck.
Good times.
