Fiesta Bowl Parade

For the first time ever we went to the Fiesta Bowl Parade. Will was excited because we got to ride "the train" which is really the light rail system in downtown Phoenix. We found a decent spot to watch the parade--I couldn't believe how many people were there! We didn't stay for the whole thing because the boys were getting hungry and tired, but what we saw was cool. John's frustration with parades here is the lack of marching bands. This one had more than other parades we've been to, but there still weren't a lot. I keep telling him he can't expect Mardi Gras caliber parades in a city like Phoenix.



Will said, "Look, it's Baby Jesus!"


Apparently there's a group in Phoenix that dresses up like Star Wars characters for fun. This was definitely the coolest part of the parade that we saw!
