More Frozen Turkeys. Parade Edition.

We all decided it would be fun to go to the annual downtown Boise Christmas Parade.

Unfortunately, it was the beginning of the worst snowstorm Boise
has had in quite a few years. Emily managed to get us there intact.

Conditions were sketchy to say the least, but we were all game.

The crowds were sparse, but everyone seemed determined to have a good time.

There were patriotic equestrian displays.

Unicycles with snow tires.

Happy hippies.

A few holiday-addled vatos.

A big skunk.

And, of course, Shriners!
What's a parade without Shriners?

But it wasn't until we saw the reindeer that we really began
to feel the Christmas spirit.

What I find most amazing is to see that happy smile on John's face! With their years in Maui, John and Emily have adapted amazingly well. There is hope!

E - Yeah,notice that John doesn't even have a hat on! I, on the other hand, had a hat under my coat hat!
