the Schrader 5

What we thought was going to be the highlight of our day was the Macy's Parade at Universal. While it was incredibly cool, it was not the highlight (more on that from Chris later). Mike, Melissa, the girls, and Melissa's Aunt Stephanie secured some awesome seats. We, along with Debbie and family, rushed over from the Grinch show at Island of Adventures and met up with them right in front of Terminator 3 at Universal. We were right near the beginning of the parade. We shouted at everyone going by so we got lots of handshakes and high-5's from the people and characters in the parade.

I believe that they just brought the Macy's owned balloons down. There were no licensed characters. Ethan was convinced that the famous people from the New York parade would be there as well. When I screamed, "Look, the Jonas Brother!" he totally fell for it! Man, I love tricking those boys. Mike had his fancy camera so I'm sure he'll have a lot of great pics on his blog.
