Derby Days Parade






A friend and I took the kids to the parade last night for something to do.  It was 88 and sunny  - hot.  The kids have never seen a parade so I was trying to explain to them what one might be.  We bought hot dogs, chips and drinks from a church fund raiser and found a shady spot to enjoy the show.  

Maddie was soooo tired as she put it that she had to lay in the grass during part of the parade.




As you can see in the second to last picture Josh was being sneaky and taking cheetos out of Maddie's bag behind her while she wasn't paying attention.

And you see sweet Maddie in this last picture, but this is not what I was actually taking a picture of.  In the background you will see a person wearing a police office reflective vest sitting on a motorized scooter/wheelchair type vehicle to the right of the road block.  We were just wondering how in the world this police officer would be able to, say break up a fight or do crowd control....hmmm, interesting.
