Rose Parade IV


These are dancers, a part of the Mexico float. Pretty spectacular, right?



This float is called Look, Ma, No Hands, showing various activities not needing hands to perform. Some of us need hands, though!



This is called Hot Doggin' ... Going For the Gold. Note in the little house at back, there is a pug on a skate board, about to slide down the ski slope. They had two pugs who would alternate the slide. The floats move so fast that I couldn't get a pic of that!



This is New Mexico's float, called Enchantment in the Air. You can see a larger version by clicking on the picture. Note the hot air balloons, representing the festival in Albuquerque every year.



This is Kaiser Permanente's float, Magnificent Tales of Health. The cornucopia in back is pouring out fruits and vegetables.



This is part of the Boy Scouts float. Note the plaques each is carrying. Each is one of the merit badges, drawn with flowers! Even though I'm an Eagle Scout, I could identify only a few of the badges.








That's the end of Rose Parade-whew!
