Today was the Hatboro Holiday Parade! I have never been to a parade before and Goddard (Sam’s school) was a participant so we decided to join them. On our way there we get pulled over by a cop…. Tags are expired – ugh! So, after all that (luckily got a warning) we were running late! The original plan was for mark to drop off me and Sam, then he would park and walk back up to march in the parade with us. Well we hit York Road and its closed! We are 1.3 miles from the parade start so we start taking back roads (thank God for GPS!!!) trying to get as close as we can to the YMCA (where the parade starts). We see 3 fire trucks go by and follow them assuming they are going to the parade and mark manages to get us within about .1 mile of the parade start. So, Sam and I hop out and Mark goes to park the car at the end of the parade route. When I get the starting point everyone is already lined up – made it just in time! We are the 2nd group in line with square dancers in front of us and the Greyhound rescue league behind us – Sam loved all the dogs! By the time Mark found a parking spot we were well on our way –he met up with us and walked the last .1 mile or so. It was a beautiful day out! Did you know that parade participants throw candy to the kids on the sidewalk?? How fun! Sam was very intrigued by everything that was going on around him and I am looking forward next year to taking him to watch the parade in its entirety.
