Thanksgiving Day Parade

Our last Thanksgiving was different than probably any of you had it before, we were part of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Working at Macy's I can participate in any of the positions available in the parade, baloon handler, clown, float escort, costumer... and marshall, which is what I was doing. I was a marshall for the parade and Jr was my recruit, so in other words my assistant! We were responsible to make sure the parade went smoothly between our 10 blocks of responsibility. If the parade was slowing down we had to tell people to speed up, if it was going to fast we had to tell them to slow down, if somebody got injured we had to help them and many more very important tasks!!! It was a lot of fun and luckyly nothing big happened in our section.
Alyson and Helen watched the parade from the Grandstands and Ron was hanging out with the pugs back at our apartment.
After the parade we cooked a traditional Thanksgiving day meal, which actually made me sick, I threw up during the night and I didn't want to call in sick the Friday after Thanksgiving because I though that it would look too fake so I went to work, but my manager could tell I was sick just looking at me, so I went back home!
On the Saturday we went to the outlet mall at Woodburry Common and went a little too crazy, it was hard to resist all those "black Saturday" specials.
Overall we had a great weekend and we hope it can be repeated this year.
