New Years...Austin Style

I apologize for the New Year's post in April, but better late than never!

We started this New Years by going to the First Night Austin.
It was so cool!
I especially liked the parade down Congress street!
It was alittle chilly. So after the parade, we grabbed some Kettle Corn and were on our way to our
neighbor's house to ring in the New Year in the hood!
What a night!
I actually stayed up until midnight and lit sparklers with my street friends.
Someone accidentally set the couch on fire... But, that's another story.

Jacket... check
Daddy's shoulders... check
Ready for the parade to begin!!!

First Night Austin's Parade was definitely "Austin Style!"
Here is the tail of a snake on wheels.
And...

Here is the snake's mouth opening revealing it's tongue.
The woman actually was doing leg crunches to mimic the tongue moment.
Talk about an ab work-out!

An old limo with neon lights...hmmm?

At the end of an Austin parade, you won't find horses!
Instead, how about an old car with fire torches?!

However, what was my favorite in this very weird parade ... you might wonder?
Good old-fashioned, hula hoops.


HAPPY 2010!
