Rose Parade

Since we had to be in Portland all weekend, we decided to go to the Rose Parade. We have missed the last few years so it was a fun treat for the boys.

The only time it is okay to play in the middle of the street! Lots of sidewalk chalk, jumping rope, and frisbee. Rose Parade is an all morning affair. Half of the fun is the hours spent waiting for the parade to begin. Uncle Rick and Brady get there very early to save our spot and we arrive around 8am, with the parade getting to us by 11am. Jud did pretty good considering. :)
John has never met a stranger! Although we seem to sit next to this same man every year!

Justin loved the Indians. J.R.'s favorite.... the mot-e-cycles. I gotta say, the Indianapolis Police did a routine on their fancy Harley's that was amazing. It was probably my favorite too. :)
