Bel Air Christmas Parade: Trust Me, You Don't Want To Miss This! - Part II

Parade marquee in front of Bel Air Town Hall You missed it didn't you?

So, we did the parade thing on Sunday in the bitter cold. Totally The Sydster's decision to continue the tradition and march in the parade, thereby foregoing the final game of her basketball tourney.

-the tourney where her team kicked butt in several games throughout Friday and Saturday.

-the tourney that took place in a nice, toasty gym.

But, I digress...

So, Syd marched and the family supported and...

To Recap--

This was the 19th annual Bel Air Christmas Parade and The Sydster was scheduled to march.
Last year's parade was cancelled because of the weather (frigid cold, ice, sleet, general nastiness).
This year's parade was not cancelled.
It was cold as a snowman's nose out there.
Half of the poor souls who braved the weather left before Santa & Mrs. Claus even arrived to signal the end of the parade!
I think they all snuck off to the hot chocolate spot.**
This year's parade should have been cancelled.

**Most were probably muttering under their breath, "How low can it go?! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Did I mention that it was cold?

X marks the spot; after the Grinch and before the Bel Air Fire Department. Chillin' with the Grinch before the festivities begin. Hoppin' Hawks jump rope club is warming up - literally! It's on!

You sound like you live in a great community...you can keep that cold, though (I live in the rainy but balmy Pacific Northwest Coast area).

Todd - Did I mention that it was cold on Sunday?...BaHa!

Li - it is an awesome place to live, work, and raise a family. Checked out your area/blog, though, and the pix are fabulous. Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Lanette, Looks like you all had a great time (freezing-LOL). I love all of the festivities that lead up to Christmas. It's a chance to spend time with family and friends. Take care and try and stay warm!

Sandy - wanna hear someting really funny? Yesterday, it was nearly 60 degress here!

Nothing like a good parade. I made it to the Macy's Day Parade and enjoyed myself this year.

Morgan - I was recently in NYC shopping for the weekend and I couldn't imagine being out there (for a parade) w/all those people. That whole Macy's thing is light years away from our little ole parade!
