Parade and race

 The kids had a blast at the  parade.  I had to keep close tabs on Bobby who has no fear and would run right out in the middle of the road to gather candy.  The kids waved to the parade participants and had a great time.

After the parade the kids both ran in the road races.  Emmy won the Pre-K girls division!  She was so excited but right away told me that she was giving half of her 2$ winnings to her brother who did not win.  Bobby was pretty excited to run in his boys Pre-K race and he lined up but then took off before the person yelled GO!  He false started but turned around to give me a mischievous grin that told me he may have thought false starting was more entertaining than actually running the race as planned.  The crowd laughed at him running out in his boots and cowboy hat.  Emmy found a daycare friend later on that she hadn't seen all summer and they played until the inflatables opened up and the kids jumped around for an hour until we got some hot dogs for the ride home.  Later on that day they were invited over to swim at a pool party.  We had some kids that slept very well last night!
