We all bundle up warm because its a bit chilly and we have to wear our Karate uniforms.  Well all except Millie since she decided to wash her and my uniform 5 minutes before we are about to need them.  I had bought a spare uniform so I was able to wear that one.  Was it an accident?  Probably.  Subconsciously though it was probably on purpose

We park our car a few blocks from where we are supposed to meet up with everyone.  We get there just in time – or so I thought.  It turns out we are waiting a little over an hour until its our turn to start going down the parade route.  Its now like 8:00 and Johnathan, Mark Jr. and Millie are all beat.  I have to be in the front holding the banner.  So we start marching and I’m holding the banner.  On paper the route seems like its not that big.  Boy I should have checked the scale of how that route was drawn.  This march took about 1:20 minutes.  Along the way Johnathan got piggy back rides from Lance and Melissa.  Then they put him in the wagon after they ran out of candy.

I figured thank goodness we are done!  No we aren’t, Millie promised the kids ice cream somewhere along the way.  So off to Friendly’s we go.  I just wanted to go home and sleep.  The kids shared a meal and Millie and I got burgers.  Then Johnathan got his usual, the Candy Shop.  Mark Jr. got a double scoop cone.  Millie got a soft serve sundae with caramel.  I ate whatever Millie left me.
