We headed out this past Saturday evening to see the Jamestown Christmas Parade. We've never managed to make it to the parade, and we thought it would be a fun experience for the kids. The only problem? It was FIFTEEN degrees. So on went the snowsuits and snowboots, mittens and hats, scarves and blankets.
We thought we'd be getting to the parade in the nick of time, but there was some sort of delay and it started later than the official time stated in the paper. I had on regular tennis shoes (silly me) and my toes were frozen before the parade began.
Nolan had to be held at all times, and we kept a close eye on him and Matthew due to the frigid temperatures. Matt seemed to revel in the cold (that child has freon flowing in his veins).
The parade finally started and we saw a variety of firetrucks and horse-drawn floats. Unfortunately, the parade kept STOPPING for extended periods of time. At 15 degrees, nothing should stop moving. We were worried about the kids being outside, so we left long before Santa appeared. Nolan was just happy to get home into his nice, warm high chair.
Oh, well. Maybe we'll get to see the entire parade next year!

Now that's an adventure! Too bad about the parade not moving right along.
Oh, isn't it a pain to get the kids in and out of carseat straps with all those extra puffy layers?! Arrrgh!
