Lewiston Parade

Lewiston had their Fourth of July parade on Monday, and the Highams were kind enough to invite us along for the festivities. Cambrie has never been to a small town parade before and wasn't quite sure what to make of it all. First of all everyone in the parade threw candy. Normally this causes kids to jump out of their seats and run into the road for that small piece of salt water taffy, but Cambrie just stood their like a statue. The candy would land right in front of her and she wouldn't make a move for it. Meanwhile, Bethany and Tate were crazy little monkeys and snatched up all the candy they could see. I don't know if Cambrie has been so well trained to stay out of the road that she was frozen by obedience, or if she just thought everyone was weird. If it wasn't for Alan being her candy coach, she would have come home with a completely empty sack. Her favorite parade entries was all of the royalty, and there were a lot of them. She waved at all the princesses and commented how pretty their dresses were. One float threw out otter pops. I was holding it for Cambrie but McKenzie won't leave anything alone that is within arms' reach. She had that Popsicle in her mouth so fast I didn't even know what was happening. She sucked on that Popsicle like it was her last meal, she loved it. Ah, my goofy daughter....The weather was perfect and the Highams staked out a great place to watch the parade. We had a fantastic time. I just need to train my daughter a little bit better that it's okay to run in the road and eat random candy that strangers give you...
