Happy New Year!
We started the year off bright and early with a trip to the Rose Parade in Pasadena. My family has been going to the parade for years, but the Hughes Zoo has been out of town for the past 4 years on January 1st, so we haven't been in a while. And we've NEVER been with kids! So this was a new adventure!
This year was also exciting because we had some serious hook-ups from a family friend who is a Pasadena Police Officer.... He escorted our car behind blockades, even driving the WRONG DIRECTION on a street, to within 2 blocks of the beginning of the parade. (That probably won't mean anything to you unless you've been to the Rose Parade before, but that's a big deal. :) )

The kids did great, and everyone had a great time!A few favs...
Lexy LOVES the horses, which I find highly amusing because I've always wondered why they bother including horses in this parade--- they just poop and make it smell!
this one had "COWBOYS dancing!" and many recognizable fruits and vegetables
Tori likes the horses, too, I guess. Figures.
There were a whole series of Sesame Street Characters, which were a big hit with the younger folk.... This one has "Bob" from Sesame Street on the front!

When the Sesame Street float came by I kept saying to the boys, "It's Bob! Look! It's Bob!" They really didn't care as much as I did. That's too fun that you went with Erin and the family. We all need to get together and play someday soon.
