1. Take EVERYONE'S advice and get there early, so that you can see. Try as we might in our alley, we could only see the ginormous ballons glide by. No Floats. Lucky for us, we were so busy keeping an eye on our kids, trying to keep them happy that we hardly realized that there was anything out there. Even luckier - - - we only got one decent pic of the floats: our dear favorite Sponge Bob. And you get just as good of a view as we did.
2. Don't stand next to the vent. My friend Mary Pack was right. Standing beside the nasty, stinky subway vent will ruin your parade experience. We moved after we noticed that stank. And no, I'm talking about the purple boots.
Despite the imperfections, it was perfect! What's better than seeing your babies smile? What's better than laughing with your friends and family for a couple of hours? What's better than having this once in a lifetime experience in the city?I can only think of one thing: coming home to Thanksgiving Dinner already made. Thanks to Boston Market and Cathy and Shaf.
I (heart) my life.

That picture of Wyatt and Emily is framing material. I love it.
So fun, Katie. I'm jealous.
Oh what fun, even if it was a little stinky. How early is early, i wonder? Don't people camp out and stuff?
I am so JEALOUS. We would watch the parade every year growing up and it was one of the things I wanted to do when we were there. But Jim talked me out of it. I'm glad you got to go.
That is my dream to go to the thanksgiving day parade. Don't be surprised if we show up at your door next thanksgiving!
