BYU Homecoming Parade

A few weeks ago was the BYU homecoming parade.  Last year I was out of town with Shortstop in Boston so we missed it and I really wanted to do it this year.  The weather was perfect and Shortstop was very excited at the prospect of doing something dealing with his favorite team!  Two years ago we watched it like this:

Kind of nice to be able to step outside our front door and see the parade go by.  And sad to think those buildings are no longer there!  But this year we were able to figure out where to park and where to sit for the best view.  We were right on 9th east but no one was around us so Shortstop got ALL the attention and candy and coupons and toys from the parade.  It rocked!

 All set up and waiting for the parade!

 Very intrigued by what was happening

 His favorite parts were Cosmo and the marching band.  Loving the marching band is in his blood!  His Great Grandpa was the marching band leader for many many years.

We love our little cougar and we love how much he loves our alma mater.  Let's hope he continues loving it until he is old enough to go!

This picture is not from the homecoming game but Mark took his boy to another game and Shortstop sat for the whole time without complaining, whining or trying to get away.  I was shocked!  I expected them to come home after an hour but my little cougar was there to cheer every touchdown and first down and loved doing the hand motions.
