Every summer our town has its "Christmas in July" days. Our town is quite small so we have never really attended much. This year, however, we decided to go to the parade with the kids.
Aiden was a little concerned at first. He wanted to "go back home inside". The parade hadn't started yet and we were using multiple tactics to get him to wait it out. Finally, once the Flag came by he was hooked. He loved watching ALL the fire trucks and ambulances drive by.
THEN the CANDY came. I told him if he wants candy, he has to look at the people and wave. And he did.
The guys from the local hardware store even came over and handed him a teddy bear.
He was a pro at gathering candy. "I need more candy please" was a constant phrase throughout the parade.
We think Aiden made a good haul!
