Santa Parade

This past weekend we went to the Mission Santa Parade. This year the weather was much milder (last year there was still some snow left on the ground). But we bundled all the same! The girls were excited and claimed their sidewalk curb to watch as the parade began.

The fire trucks started off the parade... sirens & horns a blazing!
Different reactions! 
Didn't take long for the waving to begin... "Merry Christmas"
Then the loot came, and the begging began!
Best seat in the house went to Riley! Looking comfy cozy :)

A wintery float...
My favorite float, a truck carrying a large, very large Christmas tree. It had to raise & lower the tree to go under power lines!

Looks like fun! How did they raise and lower the huge tree?

The company which was doing this particular float is a company that relocates trees. It was holding the large Christmas tree in is huge mechanical pincher which simply raised and lowered. Just not something you see every parade!
