Joshua and I decided to go park a vehicle downtown, then go eat, and head back for the parade that started at 7 pm. Well, at 5:15 when Joshua got down to Commercial St. (our Main st.) it was already full with cars in every parking spot. However, Joshua was able to park on the side street with the back of our van facing Commercial. There were people lined up in front of us, but we put Cooper on top of Daddy's shoulders and on top of the van to see. Emporia does not allow for people to throw candy and stuff so having a front row seat for Cooper was not necessary. It was nice to have everything (blankets, chairs, extra clothes, etc.) right there for us and not have to carry it from where ever we parked to our place to watch the parade.
Cooper really enjoyed himself. He watched very attentively and made sure to make sure mommy and daddy were seeing what he was seeing. "Daddy, you see motorcycle?" "Momma, that's a big balloon." When you would agree that you see it, he would say, "yeah, I like parade. Momma/daddy like parade too."
When we first go there, Cooper was very content just sitting in his chair in the back of the van (sitting contently never happens with this kid). He kept saying, "mommy, I scared." We are still not sure what he was scared of, but once Joshua put him on his shoulders and he could see everything, he was fine.
I know in this picture he doesn't match....we were still in the process of adding layers!!!! HA!
Cooper looks a little upset in this picture, but I can assure you, he wasn't. Maybe a little cold, but he really enjoyed himself and took everything in.
I was trying to get a picture of santa (he is always the last float in the parade), but as you can see my camera does not shoot that well from far away in the dark.....sorry!
