I took Jasmine to this year’s Beaverton Parade. The theme was Dancing in the Streets, although Dancing in the Rain would also have worked given the misty rainy morning. But since we are in Portland, the weather didn’t hold anyone back (except for Emily who is getting over a cold ).
They had some new stuff this year, including appearances by Chucky Cheese and Ronald McDonald, which Jasmine claims both waved to her. Which is probably true, since Jasmine waved to everybody. Jasmine also liked the tap dancers, cheerleaders and dance troops. That is, when her attention was not distracted by collecting a hoard of candy thrown into the streets. Good thing my raincoat had deep pockets.
