The Night Parade

After the children's parade comes the nighttime parade.

It happens a week later and every float is covered in lights.

It is one of the biggest night parades in the country.

Well.....

On this day Sarah woke up with a cough.

And she didn't stop coughing all day.

Even 30 minutes before the parade, I wasn't sure she could do it.

Plus, to make matters worse, it was cold.

I mean, real south Florida cold.

Like 47 degrees cold.

Which to us is positively freezing!

But Sarah stopped coughing.

And she got to ride that float.

With her crown.

And sweatpants and two shirts..... under her dress.

And a jacket and a blanket.....on top of her dress.

And like a true princess, she smiled and waved through it all.
