We decided to go to the local Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting. We hadn’t been there before, but it sounded like fun. It wasn’t too cold, but we bundled up just in case. We circled in the parking lot for a bit but ultimately found a space that wasn’t too far from the end of the parade route. Quite a few people had gathered already. We stopped in a store to buy hot chocolate then we looked for a place to watch. We found a place near some very nice people. While we waited, we got to know them a little bit.
When the parade started, Marina stood with the children we’d met. We saw several marching bands, cub scout packs, characters and floats. At the end was Santa on a fire engine. After the parade was over, we moved a bit to see the tree as it lit up for the holidays.
A band started to play and we went over to the stage for a closer look. They played a lot of songs Marina liked. While we were listening, we saw many of the characters from the parade. So we got photos with a polar bear, walking candy cane and gingerbread man. The we saw Anna and Elsa dancing near us, so we took one with them as well.
When the concert ended, we said goodbye to our new friends and walked to the car. It was a fun evening!
