Homecoming Parade

Sylvia is a big fan of parades and the Iowa marching band so what better place to take her than the Iowa Homecoming Parade.

She was so distracted by the parade that we had to remind her to eat her hot dog...something we've never had to do before. My girl likes hot dogs. I'm tempted to how many she would eat if I didn't cut her off but I know it will make her sick so that question will have to go unanswered. She's only ever had two at a time but she always asks for more.
We forgot to bring a bag for her to collect candy in so she used Grandpa's soft cooler. She enjoyed standing in the street with her cousins, Ben and Katie.
Eric was also entertained by all the excitement.
Sylvia is still enjoying all the beads she got at the parade. She also got a Pancheros frisbee. She recognized the logo while we were eating at Pancheros tonight. Their marketing is working I guess.
When the windows are open, we can often hear the marching band practicing. We like to go watch them practice up on Park Road. She'll usually ask me to sing "Iowan Sing" (as she calls the fight song) and she'll clap and march along. She stood still and watched at the parade. They must have looked different to her in their uniforms.
