For Once, We Live in That House August 18, 2009
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Family, Little Man Dallin, New York, Princess Hannah, Thoughts , trackbackWhen you go to a parade, the most inconvenient part about it is leaving your home, finding a place to sit, and locating public restrooms.
Honestly, wouldn’t parades be so much more convenient, fun, and relaxing if you didn’t have to worry about any of those things?
You know you have wished you lived along the parade route.
Just once even.
Well . . .
This is what happens when you live on Main Street in a small town . . .
The parade comes to you! And you know what? I didn’t know there was a parade that day until I saw several chairs set out along the street.
The nice people at the bookstore below us lent us some folding chairs so we could secure our front row seats, directly in front of our font door.
That’s right friends. Our front door. This parade was 1000% more enjoyable sitting in front of my house. I made one toddler potty run, one diaper change run, and one run to refill our drinks.
Here’s the best part . . .
We could have watched it from our window just like this chick. You know, just in case it was blazing hot, or too crowded, we had options. For once, we lived in that house. The one you wished you lived in on those hot and sticky parade days.
Of course, Dallin and Hannah loved it.
Hannah has declared more than once that New York is her favorite place to live.
I’m pretty sure the parade sealed the deal.

That is so cool! How lucky!
Oh, that’s awesome! How cool is that to be able to sit on your doorstep and watch a parade. I’ve wanted to do that lots of times.
I’m glad you’re enjoying NY because I sure miss you here.
