Every year at Halloween Wally's school holds a Story Book Parade in the historic square in our city. The kids all do a book report the week before, and then dress up as one of the characters in the book. This has been a source of stress for me as a mom to try to get a book and costume that coincide. But after learning that none of the other nearby schools let the kids dress up at all, I have decided it is worth it. My friend Kathy saved the day this year after I could not find a good book to work with Wally's ninja costume. She brought over "The Magic Tree House: Night of the Ninjas," and Wally could not have been happier. Del was able to meet us for the parade, and I was so glad after we saw how excited Wally was to see us along the route they walked. It was COLD while we waited, and now I am dreading Winter, but at least the setting is cute. The square really is the pride and joy of our town, and I also love it there. Wally's school is within walking distance of the square, so the whole student body troops down the street to put on the show.
Here are some pics of our little outing.
Del trying to distract Georgia and Walker from the cold.
My turn. Poor Georgia, not even hot chocolate from Cobblestones fought off the cold for her.
Wally spotted us. And Georgia forgot the chilly weather.
Wally was especially excited to see Walker.
Chatting while they waited for the back of the parade to catch up and head back to school. Don't you love the little girl dressed up as a fly, holding her "Diary of a Fly" book? Her glasses crack me up!
And they all lived happily ever after!
