We spent the weekend up at the lake enjoying the perfect weather and small town life. There was a rodeo in town this weekend, and in honor of the rodeo the town of Spooner hosted a parade. In order to secure the perfect spot, people were lined up along the parade route hours ahead of time. Our chairs sat empty for two hours before the parade started and we made it to our seats just time for the parade to start. Amelia and Graham were mesmerized by the marching bands, fire trucks, cows, goats, and horses (it is a SMALL town!). The best part though, at least according to Graham were the treats the kids got- candy, popsicles, and even chocolate milk. I'm not sure I understand handing out milk on a hot summer day, but it was a hit. Strangely enough though, common sense seemed to be lacking by some of the parade participants. It was fairly hot outside, so many people riding the floats had water guns and water balloons to mist the crowd. Imagine our surprise, when Amelia who was riding in the stroller became a target...who in their right mind thinks it's funny to pelt a baby with a super soaker!?!?! It sounds so strange I'm laughing to myself as I describe it. Thankfully, Amelia didn't mind and we were able enjoy the rest of the parade.
