| Our New Years Trip |
| Rose Parade (Part 1) |
| On New Year's Day, Melody and I went to Pasadena and watched the Rose Parade in person. It was the first time either of us had seen the parade up close. It was a little cold, but we bundled up and just enjoyed the celebration. |
 |
| Karen bundled and excited as the parade is about to start. |
| This is a rose from one of the floats. Sometimes the flowers will fall off and then there is a mad dash for the souvenirs. |
 |
 |
| After the parade the floats are on display for you to see up close. Here is Melody posing with Strawberry Shortcake. |
 |
| This float had little fairies as it's theme. They are so much more breathtaking to see up close. |
 |
| Kitties playing on this float made it one of our favorites! |
 |
| Dancing starfish adorned this underwated themed float. |
 |
| The parade isn't all floats, here are some hula dancers. |
 |
| A band from Hawaii made the trip to Pasadena to march in the parade. |
 |
| Here is a patriotic float that was one of the first in the parade. |
 |
| This was a series of 6 small floats that all went together. They were so cute! |
