Floating on Air – Inflating Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade Floats

November 22, 2012  Thanksgiving | Uncategorized

Yesterday, we jumped on a train to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Floats being inflated.

The weather was perfect, the crowds were minimal (early on) and the floats were huge.

Frog legs anyone?

It’s a sight to behold – put it on your bucket list.

Wrapping around the Museum of Natural History, and across from Central Park, the buildings alone will stun you.

The Elf on the Shelf makes his debut this year.

Have you seen our Elf – Hot Tamale – and all his Christmas hi-jinx?!

It was a Smurftastic day.

And Santa brought up the rear.

From my family to yours,

have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

 

I’ll be putting on my elastic waist pants, cooking up a storm and enjoying lots of carbs today.

 

Need a last minute place setting – check out mine here.

What about a fun craft for the kids – this one rocks here.

    Happy Thanksgiving, Kelly! When I was 22 I lived on the Upper West Side and had so much fun watching the floats be inflated.

    Have a great day!!

    Wow! That must have been amazing to see the balloons being inflated! Years ago, I was in NYC for Thanksgiving, but didn’t get to see the parade. Definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing your pics.

    After I stuffed myself I felt like someone had filled me up with air and I was the size of those inflatables. I swear when I smiled my rosy cheeks went up so far they blocked my vision.

    That sounds like an amazing pre-Thanksgiving trip! It’s one of my life wishes to go see the parade in person one day!

    This looks like so much fun! A friend of mine went to the Macy’s parade this year and loved it. It was on her bucket list!
