Parade of Lights

This past Friday night we went to the Louisville's annual parade of lights. My mom picked up Josiah from daycare and we met some friends at the Waterloo Restaurant. The Restaurant is right on Main street where the parade was being held and they got a table in the front. It was perfect! We had dinner and when we were done we walked out the front door and had a front row seat for the parade.

Josiah had his big coat, gloves and a blankie. It was a chilly but he stayed warm! We waited outside for about 15 minutes before the parade actually started. I was a little nervous that he'd be restless sitting in his stroller that long but he did great. All of the towns firetrucks led the parade down Main Street. It was loud and there were sirens and flashing lights. Josiah watched in amazement. He was a bit tired so he stayed pretty mellow throughout. It got pretty cold toward the end of the parade but there was only about 10 minutes left so we toughed it out. I didn't want Joey to Miss Santa. I know he has no idea who Santa is, but what kind of Mom would I be if he missed SANTA!?!?!

All in all a great time was had! Joey talked the whole home about the truck saying "WOW TRUCK" and "Bye, Bye truck"! He didn;t even fall asleep he was so excited. I can't wait for the parade next year!

I didn't know you went to that. Imani was really bummed b/c she really wanted to go, but her friend's b-day party was the same time. We'll have to go together next year. How is that restaurant? We used to always do the Senor T's thing before the parade, but it's closed now right?
