So technically, it is the Downtown Parade of Lights. Athens is nothing if not politically correct! No matter the name, we had a blast. A bunch of parents and children who all attend Little Prodigies packed into two large booths at Mellow Mushroom for some post-school, pre-parade dinner and then we all gathered around the minivan to watch the parade. We were towards the end of the route, but Junkman's Daughter provided us with "snow" while we waited.
And we were grateful for the "snow" to put us in a winter mood, since it was in the 70s during the first week of December. (Hard to believe it was that warm with the winter we've had!)
The Gang
Rosie and Baby James, who really isn't a baby anymore
Getting a good view
And it begins!
Does your town's parade have the rock band Cracker play on a float? Just us? (Full disclosure - the lead singer is a professor in UGA's Music Business Program.)
Charlie and Carter took it all in.
Enjoying the parade and it's lollipops with their friend Parker
And what Christmas parade is complete without stormtroopers?
We cheered loudest for the camel's poop scoopers
And finally, Santa!
