Everyone Loves a Parade – WW & You Capture

March 9, 2011 by Elaine

Legs and feet to stand on while waiting for the parade to start…

Arms and hands to wave in the air to catch beads as the “floats” go by…

Ears to hear the band and all the parade-goers.  
And eyes to watch it all….



The kids and I have been to four parades since last Saturday.  My house is overrun with beads and trinkets.  But it was worth it to see their faces and feel their joy.  The joy that only children can know.

    I love taking my kids to the parade, but I hate bringing home all of the little trinkets and candy they get.

    Four parades in less than a week? Amazing! Your dress up chest must be stocked for life now!

    So, what do they think is the reason for the beads being thrown?

    Love it! We haven’t been to a parade in so long – your post made me realize we are overdue.

    PS – I LOVE your blog name. So clever and cute!

    Oh how fun!
    Great photos and looks like they were throwing awesome beads too! (we always end up with the super cheap ones.)
