New Years Eve was celebrated in Pasadena California! Nate has always wanted to see the Rose Bowl Parade. We looked into going but in order to get good seats you have to camp-out the night before or get up at 4am! We decided to go to the float party instead, which was so awesome! We were glad we went!
I know Nate really wants to go to the Rose Bowl someday! This may be as close as he gets!
Mara pushing Brook, who refused to stay in her stroller! She was as determined as my children!
This was one of the floats we saw. It was amazing to be so close and see how the floats were made. Everything on the float has to be grown! They 100% natural! Flowers, fruit, vegetables, seeds....even seaweed!
Some floats we saw from a distance, others we saw up close.
Mara is just as pretty as the flowers on the float!
We could not believe the amount of flowers here!! Every kind and color! Each single flower was put in its own vile with water. Then carefully placed in the exact right spot!
We each were given a rose on the way in, we had a dozen roses at the end of the day! We gave them to Aunt Maren because she wasn't able to come with us because she had to work.
The best part of it all was actually the next day when we watched the parade on TV and saw all the floats we had seen! There were several more floats in the parade that we didn't see at parade preview.
