The parade around the lakes this year didn't disappoint! Our cabin is right where the parade starts, so the kids get lots of candy because all of the floats are excited to throw out candy. We wondered if the floats had any candy left by the end of the parade. Brooks didn't know what to do at first, but by about the third float he figured it out and went to town picking up candy. One float threw out a backpack for Brooks which worked well to dump his candy into when his bucket got full. It was a double bonus because Brooks loves backpacks and packing things for "sleepovers" in his backpacks.
Waiting for the parade to begin. Brooks didn't know what to think. He sat really still and just took it all in for the first little bit. The sitting still thing didn't last long, though.

Once he got the hang of it, Brooks was super fun to watch. It was funny to watch his face and his intensity when trying to get the candy before his cousins did.
As you can see, he was able to hang with his cousins and did just fine in the candy department. The parade may have been the thrill of Brooks' weekend. It was so cute.
