2007 Grandview Christmas Parade

We went to Grandview last night to watch their Christmas parade. It was set to start at five o'clock. The staging area was behind the First Baptist Church, so we set up across the street from the Church. Aunt Sue had come to town with GranMa and GranPa so Lynne and Andy went to help her bring her two kiddos over. Andy had taken a college day on Friday to go visit a campus. Can you guess where they went? And yes, his shirt does say Ladyjacks on it.
The Grandview HS band lead the way playing Christmas songs. They have always had a very good band and this year was no exception.
Of course, you know me. I like cool cars. So this next group of pictures are some of the cool cars we saw in the parade.



There were, of course, many floats. Here are a few that the pictures weren't to blurry to share. It was to dark for non flash photography and to far away for a flash, but we did the best we could. Cousin Parker is somewhere on the boyscout float.



Every kid loves a firetruck! So this group of pictures will be dedicated to emergency response vehicles.



Then there was the main reason we went to the parade. GranPa had his golf cart decorated for the event. He and GranMa rode the entire route and then gave Aunt Sue and her two a ride back to the truck.

Lynne thinks this next picture is funny. Santa is riding in a cool car, but what's that hanging out of the drivers mouth? I guess he's a bad elf.
We had a little trouble with the boys before we left town. I guess they thought all those Maypearl boys in Grandview were looking for trouble.
We then loaded everyone into the van and headed to Wataburger in Alvarado to eat supper with GranPa and GranMa. It was a fun evening all around.
