Tom and I could not wait for Peyton and Jordan to pass by. We had a great spot to take pictures, thanks to Peggy and Curtis Holcombe who invited us to share the spot that they have had for the last 20 years!

what the?
While the rest of the paparazzi was happily snapping away, I was trying to jump start a dead battery in the big fancy schmansy video camera. Thankfully, Tracy had brought a very handy back up that did the job in spite of my dizzying special effects trying to hold it steady.

Tracy and Christopher
Peggy had made brownies and there was a huge lunch inside the building where we sat and awaited our royal golden boy.

Tracy snapped this while we were lining up to get the best view.

a very cute group of kids and animals
We knew Peyton would be right around the corner when we saw this cute little group of cowboys and cowgirls. If you look really close you can see a little Yorkie puppy riding in a basket in the front of the pony cart!

and finally.....
I was glad to see that the hearts and flowers were still in place.

The parade ended all too soon!

Good-bye Floresville
