it makes for an early morning, the parade starts at 8am, but the pro football hall of fame induction grand parade is fantastic! this year we brought only chairs. the way the parade route was lined, a blanket would have been the way to go. we were telling the kids just to sit on the curb instead of our chairs when the family next to us offered to scoot down - and loan us a blanket!
 |
| there were a ton of steelers fans across the street from us, so this is the only view we had of jerome bettis. |
 |
| he wasn't on the list for the parade, but matt was noticed by dan fouts again! it helped that he was wearing his fouts jersey. |
these guys were awesome! the first video shows the younger guys and then my camera died as things started to get really exciting so i switched to my phone for the second video.
the kids really liked the 'super fan' floats. mason and matt got a lot of attention for their chargers gear.
people chat, "spin it! spin it! spin it!," to the balloon escorts. and most of them deliver! where we were sitting there were a lot of large trees overhanging the road so we didn't get a lot to spin right in front of us. much to mason's dismay (he was chanting super loud each time). until the children's hospital dog came by!
 |
| breakfast street-side since we had to leave before the kids could eat anything (we left around 6:30am). |
 |
| we were there too! |
