and water balloons! Presley loved the water balloons!!
That night Urbandale had the Wingding parade, basically a bunch of motorcycles from all over the U.S. It was pretty cool to see all these bikes, some of them are nicer than the cars we have!
There was 800-1000 bikes! We walked up to the school where they all parked and headed up to the carnival to finish off the night!
Urbandale had their parade on Saturday morning, so Steve got up at 6:30 to go put our chairs out! (It's only 3 blocks away and we know a guy that lives there)....the whole street was full of chairs and blankets already! The homeowners on 70th have learned they need to claim their space the night before or they will be out of luck! It is one of Iowa's largest parades, so I'm sure that is why it is always so packed!
We got our chairs set up in our friends driveway. Presley was so good, she sat in her chair almost the whole parade and got extremely too much candy for a kid that can't eat any of it. Everyone would come up and put candy in her little bucket, it was so cute! Some people would throw it to her (like she was really going to catch it?), and with a bounce off of her head, we'd pick it up for her! haha! We also got bottled water, a Coke, a banana (some church had a theme of 'Go bananas for God'), Presley got a shirt from the Church of Hope and Steve got a hotdog from Hy-Vee! It was nice getting things other than 30 different flavors of tootsie rolls! :)
After nap time we headed back up to the carnival and walked around. Steve took Presley down the huge slide, she loved it!
She is such a happy girl these days! So funny and full of things to say (though none of it makes much sense to us!)
