Labor Day is a big deal in Omaha. They have one of the biggest celebrations for Labor Day in the Nation. All weekend long they have a big carnival and lots of concerts (too busy and poor to go to any of the stuff). But on Monday, there was a big parade in downtown. We went with a few friends and had lots of fun. We use the excuse that Isabel has fun, but she still has no idea what's going on. But we have lots of fun and even acted like weirdos to get them to throw us some candy. 
It was getting pretty hot, so we were busy trying to keep Isabel cool. Don't worry Grandma's, we kept the 50 SPF slathered on her, and she had lots of ice cold water bottles and a personal fan to keep her perfectly chilled! She still didn't like the fire engine sirens. One person was walking around handing suckers to the little kids, and she came up to me and said "Can she eat a sucker?". Uh, yeah, we feed our 6 month old candy! It was pretty funny. Of course I just said yeah so she would give me the sucker. I can't say NO to candy!!!
There was lots of these big balloons. They had Odie, Bob the builder, this eagle and uncle Sam. It was fun to see how many people it took to control it and see them manuever it around the street light in front of us.
During the weekend, there is an Art Car Festival, where people do some crazy stuff to there car. There was about 25 cars in the parade, but I forgot to get the camera out until they were almost gone. This VW bug has one back wheel. They cut the car in half, took out the middle and put it back together, so only one person can sit in there. It's hard to see, but this second car had all sorts of dental and teeth stuff all over it. Must have been a dental student who went off the deep end:)
Who knows what this guy is, but there were several people wearing those weird stilts in the parade. We were trying to get him to do a trick for us, but he wouldn't cooperate. He must have been embarrassed cause he was wearing velour leotards and eyeliner in public.
