SuperGrover! My favorite float! 

The mechanized turkey is a classic. 

 

Here they come... 

 

Crybaby! These big heads were so much fun. They are some the oldest floats in the Parade, I think from the fifties. 

Legos! 

Creepy. 

Seahorses on the sides. 

 

M&M's. Another new float. We weren't sure why they look curiously apprehensive.  

Riverboat 

Charlie Brown and his football. 

Cheerleaders form the 32nd floor. 

We aren't sure what this was. 

The streets were packed, thanks to Anise we were inside! 

Uncle Sam, with the big headed presidents in front. 

Bob the Builder, Austin! 

Thanksgiving Day

Our friend, Anise, invited us to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from her office. The building is on 53rd and Broadway, right on the parade path. We watched from the second floor and got some great photos of the floats. The floats are so large they require 30+ people to steer and direct them. The parade was full of clowns on unicycles, rollerblades, odd-wheel bicylces, and on foot. There were marching bands from allover the country, as well as driil teams/flag guard squads. The parade travels from 79th st to Herald Square, where it is filmed by the networks. It was an absolute blast!

Pikachu, the kids went crazy. 

Santa and his reindeer. 

Kermie! 

Mr. Monopoly 

Clifford the Big Red Dog 

Big Bird! 

One blurry picture, ah ah ah ah ah!
