Mizzou Homecoming, the parade

So we got up bright and early this morning to go to the Homecoming Parade. We went last year, but Sophia really wasn't old enough to enjoy it.

This year, she found a new appreciation for all the activity, people, floats and especially the marching bands. Here she is clapping for one of the marching bands that passed by.

Sophia was a big time Daddy's girl today, so she didn't get too involved in candy snatching or anything.

But once she saw the Mizzou Gymnastics team tumbling down the street, she was very interested. Here's a "Daddy, look at that!"

Mostly, she just ended up sitting on the ground after that, but it was at least an improvement in her involvement level. We had a lot of fun once she got into it. She started to try her own flips, and that got a little out of hand in the crowd, so we headed home halfway through the parade, but it was still a lot of fun for all of us! Go Tigers!
