Sophie's first parade and she was a real trooper, as always!
We went to the annual "Star City" holiday parade in our town that they have every year to celebrate the Christmas season. Travis takes the boys every year, and since I've always worked retail and couldn't get off on Saturdays, I have never been! So, this was Sophie's and my first Star City Parade and we loved it! Unfortunately, Cameron did not go with us because he had one of his good friend's birthday party to go instead at Champions Fun Center...he said he didn't want to miss the party and would be OK with missing the parade this time. Charlie and I actually got great seats in front right on the main street ("O" Street) because a couple people offered it to us on their blanket since they had extra room! We could see everything perfectly and a clown even came out from the parade and sat next to Charlie for a bit, just to be silly! They had four cool huge balloons...Elmo, Cookie Monster, Nemo and an airplane so Charlie thought those were super neat! Many high school bands from around the state and town played along with the UNL marching band who were fantastic! The parade ended with Santa and Mrs. Claus in their sleigh wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Although it was a chilly day, we all bundled up and had blankets so kept warm and had a really fun time! I am so glad I finally can say I went to the Star City Parade!
