We had so much fun this weekend at the Plymouth Thanksgiving parade! I mean, if you're not going to the Macy's parade in NYC, you might as well be in Plymouth, the home of Thanksgiving, right? The weather was so perfect... a great fall day with temperatures in the upper 50s and lots of sunshine and a few high clouds.
We met up with Todd's parents and Aunt Betty and Seth who had great seats down near the end of the parade. According to reports, there were over 120,000 people in attendance! That is some parade! Natalie and Seth were both so good and sat on the curb and watched the entire parade.
The parade was about 2.5 hours long (LONG), but they really hung in there. There were a ton of bands- most in period costumes (such as colonials, pilgrams, militia, civil war, etc.).
So there were lots of drums, and Natalie liked those. She really wanted to see firetrucks, like in the 4th of July parade, but they only had one of those at the very end, after the "special guest." Of course, this was the big guy himself... Santa Claus! Natalie is starting to understand Santa Claus and if she is misbehaving, we can mention Santa and she usually straightens right up! It's pretty funny. Natalie also liked that there were lots of guns being shot. Lots of Revolutionary War and Civil War guns. Pretty cool!
Oh, and the Budweiser Clydesdales were there! They were awesome- I never realized how huge they were! Natalie was also a big fan of all of the horses in the parade. Grant slept through almost the entire thing, ha ha. Oh well, maybe he can enjoy it next year!
