Nice Night For A Parade

When I first moved to this country this was a line used by a coffee company to advertise coffee. I can't remember what the coffee was but Jacob and I are always saying, in a terrible impersonation of a southern accent, "Nice day for a parade". Tonight was a perfect night for a parade and so we went to the Jr. Orange Bowl Parade. We used to have a truly fabulous parade here on New Year's Eve but they stopped it recently, and I have no idea why as it rivaled all the really big ones that you see on the telly. The one this evening was very small but still tonnes of fun. I wasn't sure if we would make it or not as Lily still isn't quite right. She doesn't seem to have any thing wrong anymore but she just isn't herself......she actually fell asleep in the car on the way home.......unheard of.

A small glimpse at our fun.

Waiting for the first float.

This One Was great. Ii was from The Dalmatian Rescue and in addition to the float they had people walking ahead of them and each person had a dog there must have been close to 101 Dalmatians. Lily loved it.

Looks like a fun parade. I LOVE the dalmation float!

What a great parade! It really does like a lot of fun.

I love the skirt Lily wore. It's so pretty. Does she ever say "no" to wearing skirts? What's your trick? Erin has to be bribed with chocolate.

Hope Lily is feeling better soon!
