Parade

Last night we went to the longest parade in HISTORY! We went to the Marysville Strawberry Festival Parade that started at 7:45pm and we didn't get into our car (that was parked across the street) until 10PM. Can you belive that? The night was perfect. We originally were supposed to be meeting everyone at 6pm. I got a phone call around 4 from a friend of mine that was going with us. She said that someone had moved the chairs that were camped out since 9am that morning so my other friend was there holding the spot for us so we should meet her earlier than planned. So Ricky got home from work, we packed the car and went to sell a WII game and headed to Quizno's for dinner. After it was all said and done we met her in downtown Marysville at 6pm. Sorry Melissa! Her mom works at the Safeway gas station and posted a "no parking zone" so that our 5 cars would have a front row spot! So we unloaded, walked accross the street and set up shop. Melissa had her husband's pickup parked there so we would have a place to put the kids. They played in the bed for over an hour and loved every minute of it. Then it was time to start the parade. We watched and watched and watched some more. It was getting dark and the parade kept going. Finally the last fire truck came through and it was over. We loaded back up the car and headed home. We got home around 10:15 and went straight to bed. Kaleb had a LONG day and about a 40 minute nap and was still wanting to play when we got home. Where does he get is energy? I will put a slide show together of our days since we have been home from CA. Enjoy!
