Anyways, my group was invited to the rose parade this year. We left on December 28th and didn't get home until the 3rd of January. Since the 1st was a Sunday, the actual parade wasn't until the 2nd.
Anyways, I was able to take Bree with me. Pam went with John, so she had her grandma there to help! We had a great time. I loved having Bree there - and I had a great time with my girls. We were able to go to Disneyland for 2 days. It was so busy!! But, I would never give up the chance to go to Disneyland. I had to take Bree home early every night because she was exhausted!
I also was able to go to a few Rose Parade breakfasts with John. They were pretty amazing. They sure know how to take care of people.
The actual parade was crazy. There were so many people! There was one point where I didn't think I would make it because we were running for about a mile. But then things slowed down and it was great. The girls did amazing! 6 miles - crazy!!
Anyways, below are some pictures. We really did have a great time - but, I was ready to get home to my family!
Bree and I mostly hung out with Elizabeth and Brielle at Disneyland - as well as Sabrina, Sam, Will & Taylor. They took good care of us.

This day we had band fest (performed our field show) and went and toured some floats getting ready for the parade. The cars were super pretty with all the roses on them.
