The first thing I always think of when I see these balloons is the Seinfeld episode where Mr. Pitt got to hold one of the ropes on the Woody Woodpecker balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The balloon is popped by Jerry, and Mr. Pitt is caught underneath the rapidly deflating balloon. Priceless.
No balloons fully deflated at the parade, but Rudolph's right ear did pop somewhere prior to getting to where we were standing.
The Rudolph and Frosty balloons made sense, but then Odie and Felix came rolling around the corner. Not sure how they are holiday related, but oh well.
This next picture is a guy/gal dressed up like a muffin from Perkins Family Restaurant. Just a little FYI for you all. If you were to actually eat a single blueberry muffin from Perkins, you would have just consumed 550 calories, 26 grams of fat, 78 grams of carbs, and 10 grams of protein. Sad thing is, that is one of the healthier muffins that they offer!
Is it sad that everything I saw evoked memories of TV shows? The first fire truck went by (pictured below), and I started laughing because I thought of Dwight from the Office in Season 2, episode " The Fire."
(The fire trucks arrive)
(Dwight jumps in the air with a little fist pump)
Dwight: Yeah!
(The firefighters make their way to the building)
Dwight: (to the passing firefighters) Hey guys, great response time. Listen up, I got some theories, there's a... (the firefighters ignore him)
And then the star of the parade finally showed up...
It was a glorious day for a Parade. Its tough to beat 65 degrees and sunny in November!
