It was Homecoming at Pittsburg State (Jared & I's alma mater) this weekend, so we decided to join in on the festivities (& attempt to make a gorilla out of our son- start em' young)! Once J got home from work on Friday, we loaded up the car, & headed south! We booked a room & stayed in Pittsburg so that we could be there bright & early for the Homecoming parade come Saturday morning! Jett loved being at the hotel, & though I was a nervous wreck about him sleeping in the pack & play by our bed (I was terrified he was going to be up all night like our last overnight trip), he surprisingly slept snug as a bug, & we had to wake his little booty up at 8 a.m.!
Saturday morning came & the 3 of us got all decked out in our Pitt State gear & headed off to 5th & Broadway! We set up shop (aka the stroller) across from 505 (ah, memories), & got ready for the big parade! Big doesn't even begin to describe the parade- this thing lasted every bit of an hour & a half & had more marching bands than I even knew existed! I couldn't believe it but, Jett watched every bit of it! Anything that can hold an 8 month old's attention for an entire hour & a half is pretty impressive to me! Needless to say, it was a great first parade for the Jett man, & I'm pretty sure we will be making a tradition out of it!
