one of the perks of a small town

excited. best way to describe belly and bulilit the day of our hometown parade. for all the years i've lived in vienna, we've never done the parade down maple avenue. of course, because the girls' preschool takes part in it, we decided to join in the fun. and so glad we did!

the parade route is only about a mile but belly was intrigued and ended up walking the entire way. (bulilit was pushed in the stroller.) along the route, they saw their teachers and their grandparents and i think they felt special with all of these people waving at them. literally, the street was lined up and down with a ton of people!!

we managed to DVR the parade on the local cable access channel, and it was fun for the kids to see themselves on television. for a couple days after the parade, bulilit would talk about how much she liked the "prade!! prade!!"
