Parade’s a Hit

To our kids, homecoming is about one thing: the parade. Every year, we make our way downtown to see the participants and the floats, but also—and this may be reason number one—to collect the candy raining down from said participants and floats. I kid you not: the kids will risk being run over by a tractor wheel to get another lousy Tootsie Roll. The two got their fill of pre-Halloween candy, and Reed didn’t freak out this time when he saw the school mascot. It was a good morning for all of us.
