Silver Bells in the City

We may have mentioned this, but around here, we start celebrating the winter holidays early. On Friday, the season officially opened with Silver Bells in the City, which includes an electric light parade. With the balmy weather, the city streets were packed. We arrived a bit later than planned and found ourselves several rows back. Never fear - Eric is tall and we brought the back pack carrier.



Toddler Wily wasn't quite sure what to make of all the lights, the marching bands and the crowd. Jeneric, however, was quite thrilled with the whole procession - especially the marching bands.



And as the evening wore on we discovered that, in a pinch, even Jenni is tall enough!



The floats were quite entertaining. Jeneric, as you might predict, loved the 'rainbow float.'



Tough to get a good picture of the floats, but you get the idea - take a truck or bus and cover it creatively (or not) with lights.
