On Sunday, Leilani’s actual birthday we went to see the San Jose Holiday parade. We were wondering why it started so early, it is pretty cold at 8:30 on a winter morning, but it was the longest and slowest parade I have ever seen.
More cotton candy. This time in green, later this day in blue… but Leilani still ate a nice sized lunch at our new favorite restaurant.
The Santagirls here were fun to watch, they danced nicely to jazzy versions of chrismas music. Most dancers were nice, but – like in all parades in this country – there were a lot of military academies participating, and the most perverted one had cheerleaders with fake guns dancing to christmas music and twirling their weapons and like batons.
Leilani loves supergrover like anything else she finds on sesamestreet.org
after 2 hours of parade the Blasblumen (blowing flowers) are more interesting
“What are you taking this picture for?” (Note the “333” in the background
Towards the end came the colorful Mexicans
and Santa too…
