Holts Summit Christmas Parade 2018

It was a chilly 34 degrees but sunny day for the Christmas parade.  This year there were 3 marching bands.. I admit, I'm like a little kid on Christmas morning, when it comes to marching bands. I love the energy of the bands! The grandson made a haul on candy! Great parade & we finished it off with hot chocolate to warm us.

Nature center and parade

Today was a busy day. My daughter went wedding dress shopping with her aunt and cousin in Springfield. We got to keep my grandson and take him to the Holt Summit Christmas Parade. Very chilly day; sunny, windy and 38 degrees. But first we went to Runge nature center. We always enjoy that and I prefer it over the park because its also educational. My grandson learned to shoot a rubber band gun. make deer tracks with clay and see a lot of turkeys at the feeders. Next we found a place to park on the parade route and waited. As soon as the kids heard the first police sirens, they jumped up! A very cold but very fun day!
