Well, I did have a lot of fun at the parade...for the first hour. The next 15 minutes, before I finally prevailed and we left, felt excruciatingly long to me. Clark and Ellie loved it all, though, and that made it more than worthwhile.
Starting if off right, with a Giant Turkey.

Pilgrim-hats off, first to the geniuses long ago who ran the El under State Street, and next to the geniuses who put the parade on State Street! We popped up from the Jackson stop, found a great space half a block up, and popped back into the underground when we were ready to go.
I think -- I hope -- that it's only in the area of parades where the risk of my misbehaving and getting cranky is greater than my toddler's.
I'm with you Mary, parades are boring unless you're in them. Ellie's looking cute, as always!
