We took the kids to the Dallas Christmas Parade. We didn't leave quite early enough, though. Traffic was horrible. Even though we only had to drive across the river, we got stuck in the middle of downtown and couldn't find anywhere to park. Eventually, we were able to park by the Main Street Garden Park and walked immediately to the end of the parade route which was at the Adolphus Hotel. Thankfully, the beginning of the parade was getting there just as we were. Mia enjoys looking at the huge balloons. The Raggedy Ann balloon starting drifting down toward our side of the street. I really, REALLY thought our little family of four was going to be buried alive by Raggedy Ann. The balloon wranglers got her under control before she could take a complete nosedive. There were lots of festive costumes to see in the parade. Mia kept pointing to all of the girls in the parade and claiming that they were princesses. Not all of the floats made it down to where we were. I guess that's what we get for showing up at the end of the parade route. It was still a lot of fun to see, and Mia loved it. That's the most important part.
This is when Daddy pointed out to her that Curious George was coming toward us on a fire truck.
Q's first Christmas parade-snoozed right through it!
Grambling marching band: These guys were awesome!
Mia was excited to see Biscuit the Dog. She loves his books.
