Since Noah was participating in the Mount Clemens Parade, Lukas responded to the call for volunteers for the parade. He wanted to use his ham radio skills, but no, the mode of communication was to be walkie talkies. How about staging? No, that job requires a lot of bossing people around; clearly they parade committee has not met Lukas responded Noah. Going for broke, he volunteered to be a costume character and BINGO he was in. As a thank you he was invited to a big breakfast before the parade, so Mamma and Lukas braved the 14 measly degrees in the pre-dawn hours. Once his belly was full, it was time to choose a costume, and Lukas immediately gravitated toward the Lion. A few moments of indecision, thinking and scanning, the panic set in - if I do not choose quickly I may end up being the Tea Cup or the Little Piggy.... so he grasped the lion head and called it his.
He walked up and down the parade route, handing out candy and hugs to anyone who wanted one. Lukas had a fun time and Mamma enjoyed hearing the little ones calling out wanting to hug Simba, knowing it was my little sweet Lukas sharing a moment of tenderness with chilly parade spectators.
Two days, two parades, one as spectators one as participants; parade season complete!
