Today Maddox, Lucy and I joined with others from our church to "strut" in the annual Handy Street Strut. Maddox and Lucy are in their stroller right behind the banner. It was great fun!
One of my "church children" gettin' ready to strut! Cute parasol, Jacquelyn!
So that Becky and Todd could enjoy some of the later night bands and activities of Handy Week, I got to keep Maddox and Lucy for several nights this week. We had our own set of bands and activities that we enjoyed.............this park (Wilson Park) and this fountain being one of them. Every evening after we ate, we got in the car with the windows rolled down and drove around downtown until we found music. Then we parked the car, got the stroller out and strolled and listened to music and enjoyed the crowds of folks with their children and their pets in tow. Maddox and Lucy thought it great fun to get the sticks out of the fountain and throw them back in. This picture was taken before the MOPS Street Strut, but the evening before there were lots of children around the fountain and Maddox and Lucy joined them. When they saw the fountain this morning, they had to have a little time splashing around before lining up for the parade.
Waiting for the parade to begin.
STILL waiting for the parade to begin.......

Waiting for the parade to begin. This was really the Street Strut that was part of the Handy Festival. All the children were given suckers to throw to the by-standers at the parade. We didn't quite catch on to that..............we ate all the ones they gave us! I'm sorry I don't have any pictures from the sidelines as we walked down Court St.
STILL waiting for the parade to begin.......When the parade finally began, Maddox and Lucy both waved to everyone first on one side of the street and then the other. When Maddox realized that some of the older children walking with us were throwing suckers to the people on the sides of the street, he threw his...............from his mouth! Oh, well, maybe we'll do better next year......maybe not!
