The rest of the story...

During pre-parade judging, this happened (yay!).

And then 3 long hours of waiting (boo!).

And then just as our part was beginning: CRASH. Lucy loses it and spends the parade in the stroller crying and then speaking v-e-r-y s-l-ow-l-y in meandering words about colored tape(?). Out. Of. It.

Henry after waving to all from the wagon during the parade (yay!), proceeds to drop trow and pee in the middle of the after-party (boo!).

So, they typical parenting day's mixture of happiness and torture, pride and utter humiliation. We finished it off with this.

Love you guys!
