Thanksgiving Parade

Took down this morning to the St. Louis Thanksgiving parade. It had tractors, balloons and marching bands. Nate's favorites were the Balloons and the tractors. and the occassional firetruck. It was a pretty decent production. ONly down side is that since they were broadcasting on TV, every 10 minutes the parade would just stop. We got some good antics from Fredbird (the baseball Cardinals mascot) and got to see the Moolah Shriners drive those really small cars.

Here's some of the tractors:

Nate in his Liberty Crown.

The Waterloo German Band Float. I saw this thing on I-55 like two months ago coming home from Springfield. Lynn was asleep when we past it so now I have photographic evidence...

Fredbird. He got stopped and picked on the parade official. It was funny.

this was as giant shopping cart following Fredbird.

a firetruck:

Space shuttle.

Nate with his parade beads.

Louie the Lightning Bug, the AMeren UE mascot. To the right you can see the Red Bull girls. they just came out and passed out Red Bull to everyone. Louie was quite excited to get his Red Bull. He passed it on to the woman standing behind him.

It was a fun morning. We'll have to go again sometime. Some of my pics didn't turn out that great cause we were going into the sun.

Found this on YouTube, sure brings back memories:

Trains and Dogs

Nate has been recently building his track layouts on the floor instead of on the train table. Here's a layout that i helped him with some time back and Jackson decides it's the perfect place to lay.

I don't think they really float around like that.

I've had the Widget on the right showing the babies progress for the past 6 months. Looking at them today, I don't think it's a true representation of what is going on in there. Are they really floating around so freely?
