Christmas Parade

We went to the Christmas Parade on Saturday. It was the first time all three of us got to go together - usually Joe has a wrestling gig scheduled for the same time. We bundled up and got a front row seat. We brought along doughnuts and hot chocolate (Ovaltine) for Lillian and coffee for the grownups. I think the pictures explain all but Lillian did like seeing the animals and the general spectacle of the parade. However she did NOT LIKE the three big balloon floats or the BMX rider who came over to her and scared her. After that incident, anytime there was a performer walking, she asked, "That person is not coming near me?"
