Macy’s Parade in Seattle

Bonnie and Sandy both marched with the Roosevelt High School marching band this morning in Seattle’s annual Macy’s holiday parade.  Wednesday, Kim took them and their friends to the Display and Costume shop to choose decorations for their instruments including tinsel, bells, and red cardinals for the trombones.  At 6:30 this morning, they gathered at the high school to prepare for the parade.

Kim and I trekked to Seattle Center just after 8 AM and caught the old World’s Fair monorail to Westlake Center where we rode the escalators down and walked a few blocks south to a great vantage point for watching the parade pass by.   Although the skies rained on their parade, it was very light rain, and clowns and other parade people tossed candy our way to keep us warm.
