Zebulon Christmas Parade

What a difference a week makes.  Last week at this time it was snowing, today it rained.  Last weekend was also Katherine's first time in the Zebulon Christmas Parade.  I know it won't be her last, this parade is a typical small town parade where every dance school, scout troop and civic organization participates.  I think we're in for many years of parades depending on the various activities she and her little brother chooses.

Miss K was very excited and quite happy that I was going to join in the fun as well.  I won't lie, it was cold....COLD.  We bundled up as best we could but there was no way to anticipate the one hour wait between when we all arrived at the appointed line up location and when our float actually started moving.  We kept the kids on the daycare bus as long as possible but eventually it had to leave to get to the end of the parade and we had to all get on the float and wait.  There's only so much you can do to entertain 3 and 4 year olds in the cold.  They were troopers though.  Katherine wasn't in much of a mood to wave to the crowd, she was content snuggling with me under a blanket with her lollipop (oh yes, we did resort to candy bribes).  But when it was all over she said she wanted to do it again.  Which got me thinking.  Why a Christmas Parade oh Town of Zebulon...can we change it to an Easter Parade instead????
