Parade
Talk about location. Sadie and I watched the Christmas parade right from my office window today. We weren’t close enough to see my grandniece on the Girl Scout float, but we were warm. It was pretty impressively long for a smallish town type of parade.
Sadie’s favorite parts were the bunch of dogs that were in it, and the music from various bands and floats.
I didn’t think to take pictures from the window until the very end, and I’m not sure they came out well. Maybe next year we’ll plan on it, get dressed and go down to street level for it. She should really get into it at that age.
One cool thing… It’s unabashedly a Christmas parade. At least one of the marching bands played a Christmas song with religious (hark the herald angels) overtones. One of the floats had a manger scene! What is the world coming to? Quick, somebody call the PC police!
