The Rose Parade

Okay so there are some definite advantages to living in California that we will truly miss. For one the amazing weather. The last few days the highs have been in the low 70's. Pretty close to perfect. The other is being so close to the world famous Rose Bowl and all that goes along with it. Yesterday we got to get up close to all the amazing floats that were in the Rose Bowl Parade. Each year after the parade they park the floats on Sierra Madre Blvd (the end of the parade route) and open it up to people to come and see them (2 miles of road lined with floats). Words cannot describe the amount of work that goes in to these floats. The detail and enormous amount of natural material is truly something everyone should get the chance to see at least once.
What made yesterday more special is that I got to meet up with some other triplet mom's from around the LA area. We were a sight to see for sure. People weren't quite sure what to think of us. Were we a daycare? Oh my gosh sextuplets (mind you my friend Steff and I have very different looking kids who are a year older!) and lots of other interesting comments and questions, but the kids were oblivious to all the onlookers and enjoyed the day.
Days like this are when we realize we have really grown to love California and although we can't wait to be back "home" in Texas we are really going to miss it here.
