This last weekend we headed downtown to the Starlight Parade. It is part of Portland's Rose Festival and one of their biggest "night time" parades. I have always liked going to parades, but now that I have kids, it's even more fun. We sat along Burnside and had a lot of fun just people watching. Portland is fantastic for that!! We got there early enough for kids to play and watch the 'fun run'. I think I'll run it next year! And thanks to my sister, we were able to skip having to be there hours early enough to get a good spot. She did that and then saved a spot for us.
Both my kids just watched and watched all of the bands and floats that went by. Angelina ended up falling asleep and even slept through the biggest and loudest drum line.
Gabriel and Cousin Simeon - these two crack me up sometimes!
Other random shots.
We didn't get home and in bed until about midnight that night. Both kids slept like a rock!
