Even though I've lived in Portland for 14 years now, I had never been to the Starlight Parade until this weekend. It was quite an amazing event! I think it was even more enjoyable because my Mom was able to get us up front seats along the parade route, due to Alaska Airline's support of the Rose Festival. I'm not sure it would have been as much fun for three adults, two children under the age of 2 and one huge stroller to try and find a spot among the packed, packed crowd. SO glad we had the hook up! And definitely hope this will be a yearly thing for all of us (if Grama Candy is able to come through again!)
Not too sure he's thrilled with his first Starlight Parade.
Parades are SO much better with chairs!
Grama Candy with her boys!
The Starlight runners before the parade. Brian totally missed out on the run this year - could have been good practice for the upcoming H2C!
Portland's infamous Darcelle
Didn't realize how HUGE these horses were until we were feet away from them!
Thanks for the seats, Alaska!
Grama Candy & Lincoln - both boys were really good during the whole parade, especially considering it didn't start until dusk and we stayed out two hours later than bedtime!
