Columbus Day Parade

Today we went to the Columbus Day Parade. It was alot of fun, and also a little weird. Here is the reason it was weird. This Lady decided to come and plop her bum right inbetween us, and some other dental students.
Do you see how she is just out of place and in the way? (straight above) weird. The reason she chose this particular spot was because there were kids in this place, which meant lots of candy. Apparently she thought that it was not rude to come and take all of the candy from the little kids, and when I say all- I mean a good majority of the candy- she would stick her arms out right in front of you and try and catch any candy that was thrown, then when she missed it, she would make sure and bend down and run out into the street to collect it all, leaving nothing for anyone else. It was rather weird and very rude. It is a good thing that we don't go to the parades for the candy- we go because Macie likes them, it is right by the dental school so we get to spend some time with Geoff, and it is just fun to get out. I mean the candy is bonus, but that is not what we go for.Just thought that I would mention for those of you who are out west and in the snow- that it is HOT here today. It is around 80 degrees and we are wearing shorts and t-shirts. Are you jealous???!!!!!

Maybe she's really hungry and doesn't have any food? Maybe she's getting some candy for her own kids who have to go to school? Anyway, sounds fun. I didn't even know there was a parade. Maybe next year!

LOL! It's a good thing you posted that bum shot of her! She doesn't know how much amusement she's spreading around.

Very, very jealous of the heat! I am not ready for this snow yet. Anyway, what a stinker of a lady. I probably would have said something rude and regretted it later.

Your girls are so cute and you look great. Great shot with the camera. That is a nice pict of the butt. We actually had a similar experience at the WVU homecoming parade. This lady was all over the place steeling candy from us too. She would toss some our way here and there but still did she have to take it from the little kids.

Oh my, that is too funny. So, the first picture, I was like "What the heck?" I couldn't imagine who's behind you'd be putting on your blog!!! So...did you guys give her one of Geoff's business cards??? Eating candy like that, you'd think she has a mouth full of problems...dental student treasure. How funny.
