When you see "our" Float, know we had a great time decorating it.

Cutting flowers:




And pasting them. Start low:




And work high:

That is so cool.  Please let us know which one it is, so I can keep my eyes peeled for it.

It is the City of Downey Float, " Jewels of the Pacific". It is the 83 or 84th "unit", which places it near the end, and one of the last floats. Look for three big puffer fish.

Will do!  That is so way cool awesome.  The Rose Bowl Parade was always my fave, my Grandmother and I were always amazed by all the "live" floats.

So, where's the completed float picture ?? We watched the Rose Bowl Parade. Much better than Macy's. The only problem was that the commentators wouldn't STFU. :blah:

Took the Founders Trophy.

Alas, I could not get there for the last day - work commitments.

If the girls send me some pictures this next week I will post them.
