Title: Clayton Christmas Parade December 10th 6pm 2011
Post by: lovebus (jack) on December 11, 2011, 02:44:34 pm
Even tho I was under the weather I had a great time last night with you guys and glad I didn't stay home like I should have. The crowds were great and they loved our cars. OMG, I was hearing Jingle Bells all night.  #@rofl3

By the time I got home I was cold to the bone and went right to bed and In between getting sick several times last night I did sleep 12 hours, I don't ever remember sleeping that much. I sure hope none of you caught what I have.

I think that will be the last winter parade in TheStrap, the bus and LOTS of heat next year.  MORE PHOTOS (http://s326.photobucket.com/albums/k416/6d4vdub/Christmas%20Parade%202011/)

 &$hmmthin_+ camping Jan. 14 :confused04:; you may have talked me out of it last night M. We'll see as it gets closer.

Great time, loads of fun, worth the price of a new horn for the MugBug. Dueling "Jingle Bells" played by car horns with me and Celly, and that had to be the first time a parade had a wave done to them!

Yes, well,  JackWagen was a bit "grumpy". You gotta pace yourself with the Flamingo poop...eating too much is not a good thing.. &^rofl

No, apparently she doesn't... she's smiling AND letting him hug her!  #@rofl3

The cars & bus look wonderful. I have the same question as Heather though.....  how do you plug them in?  Power inverter plugged into cigarette lighter?
Great pics, but wow it was SOOOO cold.



You're all pretty brave for being out in that weather with no heat...   *cold*


Jack, I'm sorry you weren't feeling well, and that you had  a rough  @#vomit night.    Hope you're feeling MUCH better this evening.     Hmmm.. maybe it WAS a Flamingo Poop overload....

They sell 12v Christmas lights or you can use an inverter if you have one.

It was totally a good time and I recommend it to all of you next year!!!    *santa._  

I did have to take Advil after dueling Jingle Bells - but it was so fun while we were driving all around Clayton it was worth it! (I didn't know Clayton was that big!!)    

Chester does have a Mr. Heater, but we forgot to check if we had any propane until we were headed to Clayton... and we didn't... so the long ride was rather cold.  I had hot tea for the ride there, but none for the ride home.  bawlin)0  My feet were frozen by the time we got home. We did leave the blinking Christmas lights on the whole way home.  I think a few cars slowed down in front of us, they must have thought they were getting pulled over!   #@rofl3
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!  =Xmastre+{     xbell
