Santa Claus Parade

I went to the Santa Claus parade on Saturday with my family. I was really excited to go because I hadn’t been to a parade since I was young. We got there late and ended up standing behind rows of people. I couldn’t see anything unless the float was on a big truck. I’m also too big to sit on my dad’s shoulders. It was very chilly as well. I had thought I dressed warm enough, even wearing long johns under my pants, but I was frozen. We ended up leaving early and missing the end of the parade. I thought it would be fun going with my family, but I think parades are a kid thing. You either need to be a kid (that way everyone lets you stand in front to see, and you catch all the candy) or you need to be with kids (to watch how amazed they are by all the floats and characters). Also, it helps if you’re dressed warm enough.
