The Wet Rose Parade, 2006






Happy New Year! We certainly had a wet time today at the Rose Parade. This was not a drizzle. . .this was full-blown rain and wind for the entire parade. Mardene and her family held the place for us as they so kindly do every year. . .we brought breakfast for the whole gang. Evan was carrying the banner for the National Trophy, which is for a float that best depicts life in the United States. The ESPN float won the National Trophy. . .Mardene brought confetti to throw at Evan as he marched by. We were all cold and wet but said that this is one parade that we will not soon forget. It was the first time since 1955 that it has rained on the parade.
