Parade me

When we lived in Lexington, VA we lived on Main Street. This street also happened to the be main parade route through the tiny town. Every so often (probably twice a year, really) my parents would say, "Let's go outside and see the parade!" and we would walk to the front yard and watch the floats, bands, and clowns go by.

I honestly thought that parades just showed up in front of my house.

One year my sister Austina & I were offered the opportunity of a lifetime. To be elves on Santa's float in the Christmas parade. I remember the outfit, the float, and the candy. It was such a fun time!

Last night we took Fuller downtown for the Starlight Parade and watched the floats, bands, and got lots of candy. Maybe someday Fuller will be in a parade and get to have that thrilling feeling of rolling down Main (or Market in our case). There is nothing like it.
