Thanksgiving Parade and Disney on Ice

This year I really wanted to go to the Quad Cities Thanksgiving Parade. It is the largest helium-balloon parade in the Midwest. It was on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and was perfect fall weather. I haven’t wanted to go the previous years because it is usually cold.

We bundled the kids up in the stroller, walked across the Sky Bridge and found a nice spot at the end of the parade. It was a lot of fun watching all the balloons and Santa Clause came at the end. Lilly was a little sad they weren’t handing out candy like they do on the 4^th of July but she did get some stickers from a clown.

 

 

Another fun activity that Lilly and I were able to do this year was going to Disney on Ice. It is always fun to do things with just Lilly and me. She enjoyed herself. She got a little bored towards the end but didn’t ask for any of the really expensive Disney toys which was nice. We did accidently get free parking. Although I don’t really feel bad about it since they were charging $10. Last time we went to a show it was $3.
