The Old Fashioned Christmas Parade in downtown Lawrence is mostly about horses. But it's also about finding a place to watch the horses, and history, and smiling, and waving. There are also the buggies, carriages, little ponies, hats, dogs, costumes, and finding things to do if you are bored and need a break from watching horses. I could go on and on and one but I will let these photos do the rest of the talking today.
I am not sure if this message was a hidden clue in some sort of parade shenanigans. A mystery to be puzzled over. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.
Thanks to Chris who took all the photos downtown at the parade today. He was on special assignment for me while I went to my regular job. Just looking at the pictures tonight got me in the mood to consider taking down the pumpkins tomorrow. And maybe listening to the Mills Brothers while I get out some red and green stuff.
All great pictures, but my favorite is the building with the cursive statement. Got to be a story there!

Thanks to Chris for taking us all along to see the parade. I loved looking at all the horses and donkeys and pony, and dogs and kids and buildings. :-)
Thank you both for sharing them with us.

From your photos, I have decided that Kansas has some sort of something in the water maybe, that produces the cutest children anywhere.
