Homecoming Parade

Yesterday afternoon, Dylan got to march in our high school Homecoming parade with his Cub Scout den.   He was super excited, and had a giant bag of candy to throw out into the crowd along the route.  It poured almost all day and cleared up just in time.  The parade takes place each fall and we've always just been spectators, so it was fun to actually watch for Dylan and lots of other kids we know from the boys school.

I'm not exactly sure why his hat has mouse ears stapled to it, but it had something to do with the theme of the parade.

Logan, sore throat and all, waiting patiently for some candy to come his way.   And you know he doesn't feel good when his whole bucket is still full today.  At least he had fun collecting the candy.

Its a pretty big parade for a high school homecoming.  I watched and watched for Dylan..there were so many Scouts.  And then suddenly he was right in front of me.

And then he was gone.

There were a couple of make-shift floats but nothing like what I remember constructing in high school for our homecoming parade.  I remember (vaguely) spending hours and nights in someone's barn gluing tissue paper on a giant paper mache eagle.  And then during the actual parade, a large empty bottle of rum rolled out from under the eagle as we made the turn onto the football field.  I have absolutely no idea where that came from.
