May Fete Parade

This morning started off with a super sweet birthday call to my mom and a crazy long walk from our car to the 90th Annual Palo Alto May Fete parade. I love when there are fun events on my mom's birthday because I feel like we're celebrating her, even if she's far away.

We were able to walk in the parade this year with the Palo Alto library and it was so much fun. We were running a little bit late and parking was horrendous so we are grateful that we made it in time.

 The Library Group, Mother Goose & Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee

Comfort looked AMAZING in her dress and face paint...and Rowan's tiger face and Cedar's pumpkin suit was awesome.

Note to self: Next time the library gives cute candy favors to the kids walking in the parade, DON'T let them carry said candy while walking in the parade. We learned this the hard way when T dropped his jar on the parade route and it shattered in a million pieces and he cried because he couldn't eat the candy. Bummer.

T wanted a picture with the cat, but was a little nervous to hold it's hand. He was, however, ok with holding Rowan's hand and taking a picture all together.

The super cute Viles family, minus Frankie. Poor kid runs and covers whenever he sees me coming around with a camera.

 Me and my boys at the fair after the parade.

I pulled some fruit snacks and crackers out of my bag of tricks and it kept all the kids satisfied for a long while. While they were munching, I was rocking out to the band who sang Adele, Beatles and even Katy Perry--they were phenomenal!!!

They also had a car show and had lots of awesome old cars. This super nice man let T honk the horn on his cherry red Model T. It was be-autiful.

We finished the day with some Mexican food and an ice cream cone (although my throat is sore so nothing went down as well as I wished it had). Happy Birthday Mom...glad we got to celebrate you today!
