First we met up with our friends at El Viaje. They had made a huge pot of vegetable beef soup and cornbread. Another one of their friends and her two kids joined us.
Our friends with the two kids - dressed for the parade.
The parade was in Fredericksburg which is about 1/2 hour from their house. We drove the truck. We parked at a street corner on the parade route. Sharon and I brought a couple of chairs and some blankets. We put the chairs along the street so we could take pictures. Renee and the kids jumped into the back of the truck to watch the parade. The wind died down and Sharon and I didn't need the blankets. The parade was amazing. We couldn't believe all of the floats. Very impressive for such a small town.
The band members even had lights on their instruments and their clothes.
Yes, you are correct that's a chicken car. Great isn't it.
After the parade we went down to the town square. Tents were set up with merchandise to buy. There was even a food tent. Fredericksburg is a German town - so lots of sauerkraut and sausages. We decided to eat at the Mexican restaurant up the street. The kids were getting tired and didn't want to eat in the cold. Always blame it on the kids when you can. lol
We arrived back home a little after 11:00. It was a long day but so very much fun. Hoping you're enjoying the days leading up to Christmas, also.
