Illumination Parade!

We had a fantastic Saturday with the Zarates. We all headed to downtown Norfolk for the Illumination Parade where they light all the buildings at once for the holidays. Tony, Lakely and I took the ferry across since it's only a couple of blocks from our house. It was the first time Lakely had gone on a boat and I think she was pretty impressed. Her head was whipping in every direction so see all the scenery. When we got there, we met at Zulas for dinner and the babies got to reconnect since it had been awhile from their last play date. Erin and Phil had already placed our chairs on the curb before dinner, so when we were done, we headed straight to our spot. It was perfect by the way; the babies could see everything. We had heard that Santa was the last float, so about an hour and a half into the parade, we were ALL looking for Santa! Although every one was having a great time, it was pretty chilly and Lakely and Parker were exhausted. I'm so glad we were able to make it- Thank you Erin and Phil :)
