Date night with Claire

When I heard about the Short Pump Christmas parade, I thought that would be a fun "date night" with Claire (even though I am totally not in the mood for Christmas yet.)  Apparently we weren't the only ones who thought it sounded fun because the place was PACKED.  We found a great spot to stand....and then the fastest parade in history began.  Here's me trying to grab my camera when I realized how fast they were walking by:

And here is the end of the parade.  It was that quick!  If you blinked, you missed it.

So we walked around to see the "parade" go by one more time, but by this point Claire knew there was a spiderman involved and was giving a hesitant "hello, but don't come near me" type wave.

We ditched the rest of the parade activities and went to get a big cookie to share.  The thing she really wanted to do was ride the escalator, so we tried them all!
