Sunday in My City: Santa Parade

Unknown Mami


We are traveling the world together with the Unknown Mami. I am joining you from Middletown, Ohio, just north of Cincinnati.


Well, Thanksgiving is over! Last night there was a Santa Parade downtown, welcoming the Christmas season. Of course we toted the kids down there so watch. It was longer than I expected (an hour), and a strange time for a parade- it didn't start until 5pm, and it starts getting dark around 4:30!  Here are some of the shots that turned out:


Some sort of Snow Queen.



One of several fire trucks.



Various characters. My kids liked the Gingerbread Man.



Little cutie-pie dancers. Morgan and Viv were dancing along!



This was a pretty elaborate gingerbread house, complete with Kermit, Elmo, and Cookie Monster.



Lots of the parade "floats" were large inflatables on top of cars.



Had a great time!

    I haven't been to a parade for a while. One of my daughter's was in marching band and so she was performing at each parade our town had. Winter parades are cold and summer parades, well they're hot LOL.

    That last picture is so cute. What a fun town! Even when we claim to be "too cool" for it when we're in middle school---we secretly love it.
