Bring on the candy

We have a new annual tradition, Labor Day = Keepataw Days parade in Lemont. We went last year and had so much fun, we decided we'd go again. This time, we planned ahead and ordered Turnabout Pizza (yum) for the adults and got McDonald's for kids. All were happy!

The kids were so excited for the parade to start. They each had their candy bags in hand anxiously awaiting the first fire truck to come through. Only thing is, firetruck after firetruck came through...about 6-8 in all! After that came the floats and trucks throwing out candy. Of course, this is what Aubrey was waiting for. Tyler didn't know what was in store for him but he quickly caught on. He surprised us the most by grabbing every morsel that was thrown his way. I actually had to hold the back of his shirt (see below) so that he wouldn't go out into traffic to get it all.

We had a great time and look forward to next year's tradition to continue.
