Halloween parade

Someone Dale works with was going to be pulling a hay wagon in the Hanover Halloween Parade and asked us to ride along! Brady insisted he was not going, but in the end we talked him into it. This was the most dressing up he would do, a painted on mustache.
Ashton, the sad clown.

We had to wait a few minutes before getting on the wagon. We enjoyed looking at the costumes people were wearing as they walked around us.

Avery and Bryson aren't dressed as anything in particular, they just wanted to use the face paint!
Kassie wore the dress she made, (with Aunt Bonnie's help), for her Renaissance project at school.
The best I could do was dressing as a baker!

Kenzie, always the princess!

Once on the wagon we waited TWO HOURS for it to move! Apparently, we weren't first in line and had to wait our turn to head down the parade route.
Kaden had several costumes to choose from, and chose Elmo for the parade.

Just waiting...
and waiting...
What did we do in those two hours of waiting? Eat candy, of course!

Dale got in on the act too, dressing as... well, I'm not sure what he is, but he enjoyed the face paint as well!
We eventually did head down Baltimore street, waving and throwing candy. We found out we were actually not suppose to be throwing candy from the float, but only those walking beside the wagon could throw the candy. Oh well, we had fun throwing what we did!
As you can see, Elmo didn't make it to the end of the parade route!

Makes it look like we're going lick-a-dee split!


I doubt we'll do this again, but at least now we can say we've been in the Hanover Halloween Parade!

Wow, Kassie made that dress. i am impressed!
And you as baker...you should be something you aren't already. :-) But cute that you had a chef's hat.

Ryan asked me a couple of weeks ago..."oh will Spanish Fork be having the Halloween Parade this year?" Sadly, I had to tell him that Hanover is where they have the parade...not here. We were bummed. That is one of the many highlights of living there. We miss it tons.
