Last weekend we braved the 32 degree chills to go watch the Quad Cities Festival of Trees Balloon Parade. Killian loved all the balloons! We sat right before a walkway overpass that connected a hotel to a conventions center so all the balloons had to "lay down" before going under. We thought that Killian might not get the full effect of the balloons, boy were we wrong. She would yell at every balloon to "LAY DOWN" if the handlers didn't do it fast enough. At first she thought the balloons were going to crash into her so she covered her face. All the people sitting around us got a big kick out of her dramatic personality. Luckily, the parade only lasted about an hour for us. It was freezing when you throw in the wind that blows of the Mississippi River which was located about 2 blocks away. I should have taken a picture of the river because it was so choppy due to the wind. Sean and I took turns holding Killian because she had a warm quilt that I made her. In the end it's all worth it if Killian has a good times!
