Scrapbook Cheating

The album was predesigned so it's kinda like cheating.

"We were not the only ones viewing the floats." I kept my admission bracelet.
"My favorite float."

My second favorite was Vera Bradley. I love using the pom poms for scrapping.
I will cherish forever our day viewing the floats.

Today I'll be delivering this album. : )

Rose Parade Floats

Bits & pieces of the display of flowers on the floats.

Rose Parade Floats

Growing up I always watched the Rose Parade and dreamt that I would someday attend the parade. I did something better than that, I went to the float viewing. I was able to spend time up close, for as long as I wanted, looking at each & every float. I took about 150 pictures so I'm going to show a few every couple days. Today I'm starting with animals. Looking at some you would think they were the real thing stuffed.

How cute is this guy?

The trees are also part of the float.

A fire breathing dragon.

This rabbit is on my favorite float. I'm going to do one post with pictures of this float.

Amie was making fun of me for taking a picture of the rabbits butt. But, HA HA, look at how real it looks.

Thought of Eric when we saw this guy. We sent a cell phone picture to him.

Wouldn't Eric like to see this in the woods. I don't even want to think about the consequences.

Better not get sick of Rose Parade posts. There are lots more coming. Also, see the man in the white suit. The "White Suits" were all over the grounds answering questions. Maggie hopes they got to keep their suit.

Rose Parade Floats

Viewing the Rose Parade Floats was an adventure. We drove to the Rose Bowl, parked the car,

purchased our tickets at $7.00 each and got on a bus. We were on the bus for about 15 minutes. The floats were parked in a residential area.
This was taken at the entrance of the viewing. We arrived just after the 9:00am opening. It was a very foggy day.

Going around and viewing the floats takes a lot less time than going around taking pictures of the floats. I spotted a neat vine grown alley & convinced the girls to pose for a few photos. Amie very edited in Photoshop.
Just as I finished, we had two security guards, come out of no where, and ask what we were doing. Thankfully, I just finished. They said they were concerned about our safety????

We were NOT the only ones viewing the floats. Took this just as we were leaving at around 12:30. I hope each of you will someday have the opportunity to see the Rose Parade Floats.
