We had a fabulous (albeit cold) time at the parade on Saturday!
Pryor was transfixed by all the activity! Unfortunately we were sitting past where the TV crew was - so we had lots of gaps when groups were performing at the Macy's.
Alice was wearing her new Christmas outfit that I got in January. She was wanted to wear it all year and so did not want to cover it up with a coat (although it was 25 degrees! ) She did not want to wear a hat to cover up her bow or gloves. Needless to say she was cold! A slave to fashion at 5! She was the one who requested to go to a Christmas parade.
A brush with a celebrity! For those who don't know, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was taped in Pittsburgh. Mr. McFeely (the mailman on the show) was in the parade! Not sure who the panda is supposed to be, though.
We loved seeing all the floats and big balloons. They also had several dog breed clubs - interesting. The children had a great time looking at everything! We got really cold sitting outside for 2 1/2 hours, so we decided to go into the Macy's to get warm. I was trying to get a better view of the parade by getting close to where all the action started. Well, while we were in there we heard that the parade was over!! We made our way out of the building just in time to see the big man himself! Phew!!
The day was saved by an official viewing of Santa!
