Homecoming parade

Dave and I took the kids to Pocatello on Saturday morning for the ISU Homecoming parade. This is our 3rd year of attending. It is pretty fun to go down on a cool fall morning and watch a parade. The kids got lots of candy and so they were very happy. Dave's sister and her little boy were there also.

After one random float, that was it. There was no one else behind them. We thought it was weird that the parade would just suddenly end like that. So we waited and waited. We waited through about 10-15 minutes of nothing, and finally decided that it must be over and packed up our stuff and left. As we were driving away, we looked back and saw that the parade was going again. We drove down a street parallel to the parade route and saw that there was a lot of parade left. Dave and I were not too disappointed, as we had already watched about an hour and 15 minutes of the parade. The kids didn't notice that the parade was still going, so they were fine with leaving. We couldn't figure out why there was such a LONG break in the middle. Dave heard later that a couple kids got hit or something during the parade and that was the reason for the delay.

Afterwards we went to Butterber's for lunch. We really like their food and usually go there when we are in Pocatello. Avery was very cranky while we were there and so it was good to get on the road back home. Fun day, though!
