We absolutely love being so close to campus (though, technically we actually live on campus) that we can walk directly across the street for an awesome homecoming parade view/spot.
And a big thank you to Pinterest for inspiring this!
It literally took about two minutes to make, and these girls made out like absolute candy bandits. Minnette and Aurelle totally worked it, too. Minnette smiled and waved like a little Miss America for the entire duration of the parade, while Aurelle strictly dedicated herself to candy recovery: picking up as many stray pieces as she could!
At first we were feeling kind of bad for the families with kids that were right next to us because everyone in the parade was throwing their candy straight to us and basically ignoring everyone else... until we realized that our neighbors were actually totally lucking out- seeing as the candy throwers missed at least half the time (but would keep throwing until they made it in)! This box was around 3/4 of the way FULL by the time the parade was over. And not just candy: T-shirts, balls, toothbrushes... you name it! We ended up giving away at least half of the candy to anyone who would take it.
If you ever plan on attending a parade (with kids, though... because, where this is super funny and adorable with little kids, it might not be as cute if you are not under the age of 12) I highly recommend making one of these... everyone in the parade absolutely LOVED it and we even got more than one loud speaker shout-out from floats passing by. The girls had such a blast- we will definitely be doing this again next year!
