Fort Worth Parade of Lights

There is a parade of lights every year in downtown Fort Worth Texas. It is the friday after Thanksgiving. I have been attending this parade every year and hold a "hard to get" spot. People have been put on a 4 year waiting list to be in this parade. There are over 200,000 people who line the streets to watch. I am entered under a riding club and we usually have 5-10 horse and riders that attend with us. This year we only have about 4 horse and riders and 2 carriages. I was wondering if any of the local N4M's would like to come and go to the parade with us? If you have a horse you are more than welcome to ride along with us. And if you dont well you are more than welcome to walk along side. Each horse and rider has to have 100 lights on. Each walker has to have 50 lights on. You can get the battery powered lights at hobby lobby for 1.99 a package. I think next year I am going to sign up a float, but it got to close to the time this year and we could not make it in time. Just let me know. The parade starts at sundown but I think you have to be ready to line up at 5 PM. Even if you decide not to ride or walk I would love to see all our Texas moms show up for the parade with some kind of Navy mom shirt on. You know we all own 1 (or 20)! Make sure you let me know if your going to be in the crowd... I WILL FIND YOU! LOL

If your doing this next year I am sure we can get a bunch of PA moms (and of course 1 NC mom) to attend. Can we come, this sounds outragous.

Wow that sounds like a grand time and I am sure my friend Missy that lives in Fort Worth would have loved to have me but I am so very happy to reort that this is the weekend of Jonathon's PIR. We will be at Great Lakes until Sunday when he leaves for Pensacola. I would really love to come next year though.
