It's a parade!
Today we walked in the Junior Rose Festival Parade. There were THOUSANDS of children participating - what a crazy experience. It was also my birthday, and so we had the great pleasure of an overnight visit from Amariah and Ian. We stayed up waay too late the night before; the kids were pretty tired come parade time. We dressed up them up and decorated their strollers/wagons and were set. We were placed in a group with the other stroller/wagons and had to spend quite a while in the staging area...there were crying children everywhere. Eventually we were mixed in between a band and brownie troop, then were off! At first Norah, Emerson and Ian seemed a little stunned, but after a while they got into it. Ryan was really the star of the show, you know how much he likes attention. ;-) We had to make a hasty exit a few blocks from the end of the parade, when Norah had an uncharacteristic meltdown...this then led to poor Ian melting down when he realized we were no longer in the parade. Emerson just watched all the action. ROFL - we were quite a sight.
The rain held off and it was a beautiful day. Totally crazy but a lot of fun!
