Rose Parade

It wasn't as crowded this year, nor very cold, so it was a perfect morning. We walked right up and got a good spot on the sidewalk, and had a chair for MM, with Booch on Coach's shoulders and Jip on mine. Karin loved it and filmed every float rather than just watching them. I soaked up the bands. T Fish was warm and snuggly with his mom. We didn't have as many cars slamming the dip back at the Villa, but still had a couple good ones. This year we also went to Mass at St. Philip's, which was fulfilling, since it's for our Bl. Mother.

The band on the left is the Marine Corps band, which is always near the front and fun to watch, while the band on the right is from Jenks, OK, near my relatives.
