We went to Universal for the Macy's Christmas Parade. It was so crowded we had to park in the second garage. There were a billion and three people there. So we went for a quick ride on Jimmy Neutron and then we went to stake out a spot for the parade, which started at 5:00. We got a great spot and we were able to hold onto our claim while all these weird people were trying to sit right in the middle of us. Melissa had to chase a couple of people off, but once the Schraders met up with us we had a solid enough wall of people to make it clear that this was our turf. Then the parade started and some totally smelly guy and his family were all up in my space. I kept elbowing the kid in the head and face "accidentally" since he was trying to cram himself into our space. Then he started leaning on my camera bag and I decided I needed to change my lens every couple of minutes to keep him off of it, since his smelly dad wasn't paying attention to his dumb kid. Stinky was too busy holding his video camera directly over my head trying to tape the parade.
Anyway, the girls like the parade and after that we went to the Animal Actors show. Then it was Men in Black, but Sophie was too short so I stayed off with her. We were waiting around for the grand finale event, which is called Cinesphere or something like that. Anyway, I guess they don't do that on Saturday nights. So we finally left the park and went and got some burritos for dinner.
