So, we left our house at 4:40am on Thanksgiving morning to fulfill a dream of
ours mine. As you all know, I love parades and seeing the huge
Chicago Thanksgiving one was too good to be true. When we turned down State Street it was pretty much empty. haha
We might have been a little bit early.
Everything I read online said to arrive early for a good spot. We scored the coolest seats in the heart of where all the action was going to take place. Scott dropped us off with all our gear then he parked the car.
We choose this spot because there was no way anyone could stand right behind us.
(except David Beckham)
6:15am and we were ready. Notice a couple more spectators in the background.
After we secured our sweet seats, these crazies and I took a walk to check things out.
We stumbled upon this crazy music video. Notice the EMPTY bleachers.
We talked to all the TV crews.
Our family.
Let the fun begin!
Sis and Dad did some tricks for the crowd!
Thumbs up, the parade is beginning.
The view of the Chicago sign from our seats.
Happiness!
Mr. Potato Head.
Garfield.
Ronald.
The end.
Oh, the crowds...
Our tired family.
On our way to the car we found these guys!
About 5 minutes after we buckled him, he was OUT!

After some serious naps we celebrated as a family.***
Thankful for these crazies around the table.
The end.
*** We had plans with our precious neighbors but their family got super sick so we got a ready-made dinner at the grocery store, hence the black plastic containers. It was actually really good.
