Going to a parade for the 4th?

1. Compliments of my brother-in-law, Ryan: Be sure to bring extra blankets and a big tarp to every parade you attend. Use the tarp to block off the shoulder of the road in front of you so mean ladies don't block your kid's view of the parade. (Marc and I discovered this after a "nice old lady" decided to block our view of the parade, but it's okay because "She was so sorry but there was nothing she could do about it." She had no other choice because her other spot wasn't in the shade so she "had" to move. Of course, her new spot is not in the shade either. Our discussion was like arguing with a drunk.)
