A Christmas Parade

The day after Thanksgiving, the town of Manti has a Christmas parade on Main Street that lasts about 10 minutes. Every year you can count on:
1. A few ATVs zig zagging in unison riden by random people in Santa hats
2. Miss Manti and Jr. Miss Manti waving atop their personal floats (modeling tight, black, lycra pants and hairstyles to make any Utahn proud)
3. A "trick" tractor pulling a truck of people (I sound like Dr. Suess)
4. One religious float not affiliated with the LDS church
5. A small wagon with children/a child being pulled by a grandparent
6. The local drama club float
7. Santa, of course


These are the photos of us enjoying the parade. We really didn't get any good shots of the parade itself.


Kiddies on Main.


A random couple Scott strangely developed an affinity for.



Surviving the night. That scarf itched and smelled weird.


Free hugs.


Aaawww...



Main Street on crack



I think I've frightened him.


I'm definitely wary of the camera. Scott was still figuring out how to take a photo with gloves on.



GGpa. Awesome hat.



Kensley and some crazy hobo man.



GGma and I on heavy sedatives.


Cheshires and Scott's gloved hand.

She's gathering valuable information, which will later be used to take advantage of the elderly.
