Yesterday we had the privilege of being a part of the Alamo Heights Annual Holiday Parade. One of the mom's at NPDS works for Jack FM and since they were participating in the parade she was able to make sure Northwood Presbyterian Day School could participate as well. It kind of snuck up on us (who knew the Holiday parade was held before Thanksgiving) so we didn't get the participation from the parents that we had hoped for, but next year we will plan ahead and be ready for it early. There was a total of 4 parents and 5 children, but I think we did a great job representing NPDS in the parade. We had James drive his little John Deer car so he wouldn't get tired walking the 1.3 miles down Broadway. Surprisingly he walked more of it than he rode in the car for. Luckily the other children were more than happy to step up and drive the car. It was actually a really nice walk down Broadway although the pace was a little faster than we anticipated. Between keeping up with the Jack FM vans in front of us and making sure we weren't run over by the RV behind us we were moving at a pretty quick pace. We are hopeful that next year we can find someone that has a trailer that we can decorate and have everyone ride on instead of walking. All in all it was a wonderful experience that I think the kids will always remember (I know I will) and I look forward to participating in the parade for years to come.

Even though he barely fit we had Jake take over
