She is 10.  Something else to keep in mind is that it seems that every time it is my weekend here lately it seems that there is an event that I'm supposed to be there to support her for.  I've had to rearrange my weekends around this for months, yet it suddenly becomes optional when she is with her mother.  It's a whole can of worms that I'm trying to work my through on this.

Yeah, that kind of crap happens a lot.  You got less than 8 years of it left, though, so take the videos, pictures, etc. and get the enjoyment you can out of being with her in whatever venue.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

FWIW, the real reason for Christmas/Holiday Parades was to stimulate traffic and commerce downtown near the parade. Once downtown no longer was a serious retail district it slowly morphed into more of a community year end nostalgia fest. Thus it was easy to drop the Christmas label and adopt a more inclusive and accurate label of Holiday. The new Christmas parade isn't out on an island somewhere, its returning to its roots as a retail stimulation tool by locating near Tulsa Hills.

Enjoy your time at the parade!
onward...through the fog

Plus - it's a parade!  Who cares what it's called?  It's a parade!!

Just for the record, it's not a matter of what it's called.  It's just the motives behind the date and time.

Oh, and the fact that for as long as I can remember I have taken the kids to the downtown parade...

I know.  That can be a real pisser.

Try to talk her into joining the Girl Scouts instead of Young Marines.

What if she got to be in the downtown parade?

We could probably find a group she could march with or a float she could ride on.
Power is nothing till you use it.
