The annual Menomonee Falls parade went off as it does every year. And every year, it pains me to have to sit and try and stake off a spot ahead of time. But the parade itself was pretty good. lots of bands, lots of flags, firetrucks, people throwing candy... I suppose it was worth it. We sat and watched, talked with friends and the kids all had a good time. I was even nice enough to let a little boy come sit down on the curb.
We heard about a nasty incident a few years ago where some crazy parents went off because a little girl tried to squeeze up front to see the parade. It almost came to blows as the parents went back and forth about their "spot". Ridiculous! It's just a freaking parade! And if you can't let a little kid squeeze up front to see the fun, then there is something seriously wrong.
The only drawback was that we didn't really have a good spot afterward for the fireworks. We just moved out chairs across the street since the fireworks were being shot off directly behind where we were sitting, but we had houses and trees behind us. We figured we would be able to see pretty well just by going across the street. The only problem was that the fireworks weren't shot high enough. We saw most of them, but there were some that didn't clear the trees. I guess we'll plan a little better next year.
