Parade Candy :(

Nathan enjoying a parade

Hi! So we've had a birthday party and went to a party since being diagnosed as fructose intolerant. But tonight is a parade!!! We love parades in Ohio. It's small town American at it's best! Nathan has already been told by a few buddies walking in it that a lot of candy is headed his way...a lot of fructose candy :(

We could walk in the parade for: baseball, soccer, councilman, sister's dance, football...but we've decided to sit by friends and enjoy it. The pics you see are from last year- the blue bags are out and 45 minutes later they are filled with tootse rolls, lolli pops- you name it. Lots of fructose.

So here's what I'm thinking: we bring some of our own candy like smarties he can have, and we give him a dime or quarter for the candy he can't. I'll also try to focus a lot more on the parade then candy! Wish us luck!!! 

From fireman to councilman candy is a major theme!

Love the bag pippers
