So many of you may have heard of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It's a big freakin' deal here as it has HUGE balloons, floats, broadway show performances, marching bands (name it, it's probably there). If you've watched the movie Miracle on 34th St. you know of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Right, so it takes place on Thanksgiving and wraps up just in time for a big family feast.
The night before the parade all the balloons are blown up and put on display for people to see. As we weren't about to go and watch the parade (it's a bit insane) we went to see the balloons. It may have been comparably crazy because after walking one direction due to crowds, and then the cops say go another direction(due to crowds), and treking through the park (due to crowds)and then crossing the street with cops saying don't do it (due to traffic/crowds) we finally cut a line and saw the balloons with hundreds and hundreds of people. Not really sure how else to describe it other than, HUGE...absolutely massive, the balloons and crowds. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who walk with the balloons have to be a certain weight to ensure they don't blow away...big A$$ balloons! Oh and did i mention the crowds!
Here are some of the 20 balloons we saw
Shrek (first appearance)...he weighs 600 lbs!
Ronald McDonald (Creepy huh!)
