Here are the pictures from our annual trip to the Botanical Gardens for the Reindog Parade. We don't take Bridget because you have to pay to put your dog in the parade, but it's always fun to see how other people like to humiliate their dogs in public.
The Botanical Garden has the best Santa. Too bad it was freezing and Frankie was too cold to cooperate (he won't cooperate when it comes to wearing a real coat, either, hence the "too cold" part.)
Inside of one of the exhibits, they had a pretty cool train set. Did I say 'inside'? Yep. We stayed in there, where it was really humid, for a really long time. Too bad the rest of us got the sweats and ended up shedding our coats for awhile!
And finally, the payoff - a picture of a dog in costume. This dog won the 'holiday finery' costume contest, dressed as the dog from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Its name is Skippy, and Skippy is also paralyzed, so his owners decorated his little wheel-y thing (I have no idea what its called) as a sleigh. It was extremely cute.
You can also see in this photograph that the humans that accompanied Skippy were really committed to the whole 'Grinch' theme.
A fun, yet chilly, time was had by all!

What a fun activity! I am looking for things to add to the Christmas calendar for 2010, since Jordyn will hopefully get some of it. The reindog parade looks fun.
