Goliad Christmas Parade 2008


I started a tradition with my son when he was about 2 yrs old and we go to the Goliad Christmas Parade every year. It is a small town parade but they do a wonderful job. This year it was a bit chilly and we had to dress up warm but it made it even better!



Helen and Ashley came with us this year and they both really enjoyed it. Aunt Diana and Zeke joined us too and brought hot cocoa to share...as you can see above Ashley was enjoying it!


Michael has to have his sausage on a stick...it just wouldn't be a celebration without it!

The Courthouse clock says 7:00 PM time for the Parade to begin.
I loved the way I captured the John Deere Tractor above...

I didn't notice this horse and rider were decked out in a Dallas Cowboy Theme until I got home and looked at the photos, cool.

I was playing with the camera and loved how the lights came out on this float.

And of course lets not forget Santa Claus...


We had a really Great time and if you would like to see all the photos you can go to my flickr site.

Just wonderful Wendy. Such great night time shots...take my hat off to you! Love the tower shot and the tractor - lol - only in a Texan parade; the moving lights on the float is a cool shot, never had a sausage on a stick - in bread is the go here - and I love Ashley's jacket - LOL!
