We did attend the Grande Day Parade, but it was not a grand day for a parade. We were properly soaked by the time it was over. It was slightly misting when we left the house but most of the time we were gone it was more than a mist and very cold feeling.
While we waited for the parade to begin we took refuge under this building's canopy since none of us were properly attired for the rain.
Our favorite part of the parade was the hot air-balloon baskets. They would let off these huge flames every so often and really warm the place up! Doing their part for global warming :) There was four of them through out the parade, all Remax. We did worry about the people in that sky walk. it seemed they were awfully close to it a few times when they let the burners flame up. Our other favorite part was the loot we brought home. Here they are showing off some of it.
Margaret is sitting on a poncho pioneer press threw out. She got to wear it and was not cold anymore and didn't understand why Harrison and Gregory were ready to go home before the two hour parade was over. Because we were so cold we went into the ice skating warming house and had a cup of hot chocolate as an intermission to the parade. Thanks to Toyota Sienna it was free :)
The ice sculptures were neat, but they were clearly loosing shape from all of the rain they have sat through.
I have had fun reviewing our water logged parade experience. I hope you did too.

It does sound like fun even if a bit on the wet side! The ice sculptures are neat.
