Gilbert Parade

The town of Gilbert celebrated their 100th birthday today.  It was the perfect occasion to take the twins to see their first parade.  Lily and Callum were awestruck.  We encouraged them to wave at the people in the parade.  They gave tiny little waves.  Callum showed the most enthusiasm when two large pickups came by "trucks".  Lily warmed up to the parade scene and began dancing along with a leader of a boy scout troop.  He broke ranks and came over to dance with her.  Lots of candy was passed out.  The twins had no idea what that was all about and accepted the candy along with the balloon, and little unicorn.  They have not yet learned that candy is something to be craved.  I have no idea what their parents will do with all that candy but know the twins won't see any of it.
