The Whoopee Days parade is always great times here in Rexburg. (You obviously can't hear the sarcasm of the statement - but let me just tell you, there might have been a little.) We woke up super early to go get a spot. I dropped Allen off and kept asking him - or saying to him, don't you think you should put a pair of pants on instead of shorts? He kept telling me he'd be fine. Well it was winter like weather that morning. The breeze was strong and with the windchill it was only in the 30's. I finally got the kids up and we made it to the waiting spot around 8:30 a.m. where we took our turn waiting while Allen had to run home for some things. It was FREEZING! My poor little kids all wrapped in heavy blankets. Typical for this area I guess.
We were so excited to have my sister and her family up here to visit with us. I think they were a little shocked at the weather - but none the less - they came ready to collect candy! This is them...aren't they such a cute little family?
Their youngest daughter - who is so cute!
Loving the float, but ready for candy!
I swear I have a picture like this every single year. McKenna with her arms folded. Maybe because it is so cold? Sometimes I think it is just a little bit of her personality though.
Despite the coldness of the day, the kids were successful in getting candy despite the crazy woman who was fighting them for it. Yes - an older lady shoving the little kids out of the way. She wasn't even collecting it for her children or little grandchildren - just herself. Gotta love the parade!
