Parade

After we all cheered Jared on in the race, Rick fixed omelets and sausage for breakfast.  I took the kids to see the parade; Rick opted to stay home and finish up a song he was working on for the carolers.  All of the Swiss Days events are only a block from our house which makes it really nice!  The parade was an hour long and consisted of the usual small town parade entries -- city princesses, school bands, local businesses, city officials, descendants of local pioneers, noisy fire trucks, and so forth.  Tuacahn had the best float with its "Little Mermaid" ship.  The kids don't really care what comes by as long as they throw candy!  They all came away with enough treats to keep them happy.  There were rides and games set up for the kids but they are overly priced and so we didn't do any of them.  We walked around and looked at all of the booths.  Jase and Jared and their friends set up their annual table trying to sell water bottles, popsicles, and other odds and ends.  They didn't sell much of anything this year and came back extremely disappointed!
