2nd Annual Twinkle Bus Ride

We were so excited that our friends, the Lamothe's, invited us to join them on the Twinkle Bus again this year. The Twinkle Bus is a decked out Minneapolis Transit Bus that with a flip of a few switches becomes one of the floats in the Holidazzle Parade. The parade runs Wed-Sun nights Thanksgiving through Christmas in downtown Minneapolis. We were fortunate to have a beautiful night for the parade this year...last year we rode in the middle of a snowstorm! Either way, we are the lucky ones getting to ride in a heated bus while the other floats and their characters have to walk or ride in the cold! It always amazes me how many people come out for the parade even in the coldest of temperatures.

Like last year, we had a nice dinner before hand with Chloe and Jonny's families. This was Luke's first ride, so he was especially excited! The kids did a fantastic job of waving at the onlookers and yelling "Merry Christmas." Luke got a lot of practice saying his new word - "tree" - too. Afterward, we had a quick stop at Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream Shop...Yummy!! That might have been Luke's favorite part of the night! We had so much fun and are already looking forward to next year! Thank you Lamothe family!!
