The city has a Storybook Cavalcade Parade every year and this is the first year we made it. Sam was at Hill AFB so it was just me and the kids. The worst thing about parades is they are on Main St. and in order to get a good seat you have to sit on the curb before they shut the street down. It was really hard getting Porter and Ruby to sit still for 30 mins so they didn't run down the sidewalk or run in the street but I had bought Kettle Corn so they snacked while they waited. I had gotten everyone all bundled up for a cold December day but it was so warm that we quickly took off our jackets. 
Porter stood on the white line watching the floats with his friends Loni & Kiera.
I guess the costumes were from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade so they where pretty good. This year they had two giant balloons, a gingerbread man and a rocking horse. Porter and Ruby loved seeing all the characters. Porter liked Spiderman and Batman the best, Ruby liked Minnie and Mickey Mouse, and they both where very excited to see Dora the Explorer.
The last floats where Mrs. Clause and Santa on his sleigh on top of a house. The kids really liked the parade and it was such a nice day that it was an fun thing to do, maybe we will do it again next year and we might even try to convince Sam to go if he can.

I miss that! One year Zack got to be Max from Where the Wild Things Are on one of the floats for that parade. It was FREEZING that day! I'm jealous you guys got to go to that! Fun Fun!
By the way...I love the new look of the blog. How do you do it like that? So awesome!
When I lived there I thought there were almost too many parades, but now I miss them! The storybook cavalcade was my favoirte. Pretty good for a small town.
Hi Krista! It's Melissa. That parade looks so cute! How fun for the kids.
