Halloween Parade

After Saturday was such a gloomy, rainy day, Sunday actually turned out to be a very nice, sunny day. So, we were able to take Owen and Betsy out to see the Bethlehem Halloween parade, which goes down Broad Street about 3 blocks from our house. Betsy wore her ballerina dress and Owen had a reindeer hat on - so I guess he was a reindeer.

There were, of course, a bunch of local marching bands in the parade, including the band from the middle school near our house - they march by our house practicing all the time, so we recognized their songs. The marching bands of the two high schools in town are always fun to watch: one has a piping band and the other has a fife and drum corps (which is adorable). And another one of the local bands stopped and did a Thriller dance in the middle of the parade!We also saw the giant, yellow Peep drive by on a float, as well as, Ferrous (the mascot of the Iron Pigs, which is the Phillies AAA team). Betsy enjoyed watching all of the dogs that were in the parade walk by.
