Parade!

On Saturday (9/28) we went to our first parade as a family. Drake and I had never gone together and it was Xavier's very first parade. He seemed to like it OK. His favorite parts were the cars and horses. Like father like son. Xavier would point to any car that came by, even the ones pulling the floats. He was more excited for those than the floats themselves. Drake also liked all the cars (as you will see from the pictures, he was behind the camera). Neither of the boys payed much attention to the cheerleaders, gymnasts, or bands (which have always been my favorite part of a parade).

Xavier got some candy too. One girl walked up to him and handed him a bag of sour skittles. Who buys skittles for a parade? He was too occupied with the sucker he was already eating to really care about the skittles. It was a pretty clear day, so we all got sun burnt...oops! I forgot the sunscreen.

Tried to take a family picture, but Xavier didn't want to be a part of it.

The Ballet

Part of the ballet...not sure what was up with the mouse thing...
maybe the rat king from The Nutcracker?

Excited about something after the band...I don't remember what it was.
