I Love A Parade!

Vista's Annual Christmas parade fell on Finn's birthday this year. It was cold and the parade seemed longer than in past years, but we had a good time. My sister Miranda went down with us to Main Street where we met up with the Paweleks and the Hueslman family. Here are some pics:

Miranda and Finn waiting for the parade to start. We actually got there about 45 minutes early because we wanted to get a spot on the curb. We saw lots of familiar faces along the street. Its funny how Vista seems like a small community when there is a function like this one going on.

Miss Abbey Road dressed up warm for the cold weather.

There was lots of normal parade stuff: parades, horses, cool cars, etc. The Marine Corps band was rad. I love seeing those guys march. They are so professional and striking. A class act for sure! There were tons of cars: low riders and vintage cars. Seamus didnt go to the parade. He had a soccer tournament in Murietta, but every time a cool, vintage car drove by I thought of how stoked he would be if he were with us. Lately, he has been so into the old, classic cars. We also saw a bunch of friends riding and walking in the parade. That's always neat.




And lastly the kids. Jen, (she's not a kid) Eli, Abbey, Blake, Finn, James and Jeremy. They started out strong. Finn was super excited at the beginning of the parade - they all were. But the weather got pretty cold and by the end of the parade, everyone was ready to go home. THey were troopers.

Happy Monday.
