Rose Parade Floats

On New Year's Day, we went with my mom and Dave up to Pasadena to go view the rose parade floats.  We're never ambitious enough to spend the night on the sidewalk to see the actually parade (a fact that I think Ryan is very grateful for) but they park the floats after the parade and people can walk around and see them up close.  We actually timed it just right this year and got there about 10 minutes before the gates opened.  Last year we learned that if you wait and go later in the afternoon, you're going to have to deal with half of southern California trying to see the floats also.








We had to take a family shot in front of this float.  It was done by the city of Huntington Beach--our old stomping grounds last year.  

Look at how HUGE those gerber daisies are! Gorgeous!



This picture is a little shout out to our Alaska friends--the city of Anchorage did this one.
