At the end of a very long day, what's better than a nap on Daddy's shoulder?

I know it was a while ago, but Al took some good pictures of our walk and the Grand Floral Parade. For the second year in a row, our fam participated in a charity walk prior to the GF Parade. Several thousand people walk the parade route to the adoring cheers of all the parade spectators. It's a great people watching activity whether you walk or are settled in to watch the parade. The weather was fantastic and the 4+ mile walk was fun fun fun! Some people dress up, the Hari Krishna's sing and dance, people decorate their dogs or stollers and everyone has a good time. At the end of the walk there is a reserved area for parade viewing so we don't have to wrangle for a spot to sit. The parade is always gorgeous and the grandboys are old enough to be amazed by the bands and horses and floats. I'm pretty sure this event is going to become an every year family tradition. Join us next June. You won't be sorry.
