My Nana and Grampy Pete arrived on Saturday. We've been having lots of fun and I've enjoyed showing off my skills of banging on things.Sunday we went downtown and managed to catch Columbia's version of the Santa Claus parade. Here are some pictures of all the excitement.
I've never been to any other parades so I have nothing to compare this one too. This particular parade consisted mostly of junior high bands and local businesses tossing candy from vans.
We did see Miss Rocheport, although I don't know how hard it is to become a 'Miss Something' in a town of 200 people. Also, there was some excitement when some people in the parade ran around with office carts in a little routine. It's hard to explain, you know, you really had to be there. Some things you just have to see for yourself.
(CORRECTION: Apparently, I was seeing a book cart drill team. This is, apparently, a thing now. Check it out for yourself and I think you'll understand why my humble words couldn't do it justice.)Me and Grampy Pete with a 'float' behind us. Like I said, much of the parade consisted of people driving in vans.
Mom, Dad and I at the parade. No pictures of me and the big guy himself, but I did see Santa and Mrs. Claus. They waved at me. I hope Santa brings me a pony.

nice duds, G-Unit!
also, book cart drill teams? seriously? whats next, synchronized shopping cart swimming?
but hey, who am i to judge, for all i know its probably the 4th most watched sport in the US, with hockey coming in at a distant 37th.....
In library school we actually had book cart drills. It was part of our class Disaster Preparation 101. In the event of fire, earthquake, tornado, etc. we had to learn how to manoeuvre the book carts quickly. The music and cheering crowds is just an added bonus.
