Phillies Parade

The whole family went to the Phillies celebration parade on Friday October 31st.   We chose poorly and took public transportation.  Oh well.  We all stayed safe and came home together.

Waiting for a train that we could actually all fit on.  We were one of the last stops on the train route and by the time the train got to us, it was totally packed.  We eventually smooshed ourselves on one.
                                   Still waiting.
Me and Leah on the train.  Yes, that is a leash on Leah.  Couldn't bear to lose her in a sea of 2 MILLION people.
This is a picture of the police coming in before the actual trucks with the Phillies on them.  The police were everywhere.  I think the fans behaved themselves for the most part.
We were up in the 13th floor of a building right on Broad Street.  This is the building right across from it.  Check out how packed it was.  Amazing really.
This is a picture of Pat Burrell, plays left field, he's in the black coat standing up.
I stuck my camera out the window and took a shot of nearly the whole gang.  Matt Bonacci went with us.  It was nice to have another adult along.
Things I want to do in this life:  Go to a ticker tape parade---check.  That was my favorite part.

This is a picture showing the rest of the parade route down Broad Street towards the stadiums. I'm still amazed at the amount of people that attended.  This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime event.  I'm so glad we went together as a family.
