Considering Cohen is 2, loves fire trucks and Papa Shoe was in the parade, we knew we had to attend the Fiesta Day's Parade. We didn't set out chairs the night before so we had to get up at 7:00 a.m. to set up a small spot at a church. In years past, I have usually gone to the city park for the parade, but I knew Cohen would be terrible there so I decided to try a church with a grassy area for him to play on. Right before we take Cohen to a big event like this, we always reconsider if we want to deal with chasing this wild child of ours. In this case, like many, I knew we had to do it because he would love it while we would have to endure it. To our surprise, Cohen actually was great; the weather being overcast and the parade being in the morning may have contributed to his mellowness though. Co sat very well with Brock and didn't try to run off until the last 30 minutes or so. Unfortunately, it did take me almost a block to catch him. I did learn that the end of the parade gets very long and boring so next time we may leave a few minutes early. Tal slept through almost all of it and when he was awake, he was very pleasant and enjoyed being outside. After the parade, we had two family parties, the Holley side and the Nelson side. I love hanging out with both sides of our family while Cohen gets to play non-stop with his cousins! We truly are so lucky to live close to our families and to be able to celebrate holidays together.
