Yesterday we went down to Boyce and watched their 3rd annual Christmas Parade. Why the Boyce parade? Well, it's only 2 miles down from our house and your big sister Maddie was marching with the Allen County marching band! The weather forecast was calling for a 40% chance of rain so we kept our fingers crossed that it would wait until the parade was over. The clouds looked gloomy and the wind was a little strong, but we got lucky and the rain stayed away.
You went with Dada, Granny and Pa and I rode with Dowwoe, Jett and Kady. The parade started off with some police cars and fire trucks, followed by the Patriots band. They played the song from the Grinch as they marched by. Madeline was by far the star of the band! We are very proud of her. We saw several tractors and ATVs. There were floats with angels and singers and elves and clowns. We saw Santa and Mrs. Claus. There were old time cars and trucks and antique roadsters. I saw one of my fellow Walgreens pharmacists Jamey Wimsatt and his wife Stephanie in their classic car. I embarrassed the family and committed a parade faux pas by chasing down their car and stopping them to chit chat.
There was candy and music and lots of fun. Jett told us before we got to the parade that he didn't like parades. We told him to give it a chance, and once the candy started to get tossed, he changed his mind. He loves parades and so do you!
