As the (Costume) Parade Passed Us By

Can you spot him?  Look for the fisherman.
Look a little closer.
 Initially he wanted to be a viking.  He reconsidered when I told him that he wouldn't actually be able to take his sword to school as a prop due to his school's non-violence policy. 
Apparently the sword is a deal breaker in costume selection.
 I love that he sees himself as an outdoorsman.  This was no game of pretend for him.
This was when he was saying "Mom, don't let E mess up the fishing line!" Too late.
No parade is complete without on-lookers.  These two had so much fun.

Why is it that I can hear the conversation in my head? "I want to be a Viking, Mom." "Sorry, but you can't take your sword." (Sigh) "OK. Guess I'll be a fisherman."

I love that he is a fisherman! What a cute little guy. I love the bee and the butterfly on the sidelines. I am so glad I got to know your kids a little better.

I love that the schools out here do parades. I've never been to a school that did that. And Josh was a very convincing fisherman!

This is so cute. I recall that when I was in elementary school we paraded around the blacktop. This is MUCH more beautiful than having BB hoops over your head.
