The Parade!

This weekend we went down to Tacoma to go to the Daffodil Parade with Grandma Cheryl and Papa Steve. Mckinley had a BLAST! She absolutely loved it!! The Daffodil Parade is something that I remember from my own childhood, so it is fun now to take my own kids (also a little weird that I am at that point in my life). 

At first Mckinley was not really sure what was going on, and I think she liked looking at the crowd more than the parade itself but she quickly caught on. She wouldn't wave at the floats and parade participants as they went by, but after they had passed she would say "bye-bye" (i.e. bye-bye horse, bye-bye girl, bye-bye moo (cow)). It was really fun for us to watch her enjoy it so much--she even sat through the freezing cold without a single complaint! 

It was also really fun to get to see Papa Randy in the parade! Since he is pretty big time at the high school he coaches football at (ahh hem--state champs!) he gets to participate in the parade! :) 

Unfortunately, the photographer of the day (Kevin!) wasn't real in to documenting the event. We did get some photos though.
