Picked up the boys and went to my parent's house. We went a different way to watch the parade.  We could see them gsthering up the street so we went farther down the road towards the end,  let's say about a 300 yard parade.  It was awful.We went down to the park after to get some overpriced drinks,  And play some unwinnable games.  Came back and put up the tent.  I was just about finished at that point.
