For Memorial Day weekend, we took a trip to Pennsylvania. One of the highlights of the weekend was the Memorial Day parade. We had been to the parade last year too and Kylee remembered it as the parade where they throw candy! Needless to say, she was pretty excited to go again this year. (I, of course, grew up with this parade and didn't realize that it isn't a "normal" occurrence for candy to be thrown at parades. Pete was pretty surprised last year when the Tootsie Rolls started flying threw the air!)
The kids enjoyed an empty parking lot and some running around before the parade started.
A look at everyone watching the parade including the peanut gallery that was behind us (consisting of my parents, aunts, and uncle.) : )
And the best part ...... filling the bags with candy! We ended up coming home with a gallon size Ziploc bag filled to the top! I guess I know what we will be doing next Memorial Day. : )
