Michael's Mom works at Mercy Children's in Franklin TN, and every year they have a float in the annual Franklin Christmas Parade. Team Oakley is lucky enough to have been on the float two years in a row! It is so fun and very exciting way to feel the Christmas spirit. This year we rode on top of an old fire truck while it pulled the kids of the staff and some kids who were helped my Mercy Children's clinic! The staff stocks up on candy when it goes super on sale after Halloween, and we get to throw it to the people watching the parade!
Here is Michael the beard Oakley driving us to the parade.
Beka is all warm and ready for the TN winter wind outside.
When it is cold out, starbucks is a great comfort.
This is the fire engine that we got to ride on! We felt like gitty little kids being able to do this!
There is many more floats behind us to share in the excitement!
Like I said, the little kid in us came out very quickly.
All the kids behind us were so excited! They never stopped waving and yelling "Marry Christmas!!!"
Team Oakley had the greatest time waving, throwing candy, and wishing Christmas cheer to all the folks who came out to see the parade! We can't wait to do it next year too!
It was a fantastic time, and we are so glad that you took time to share it with us!
Love,
Team Oakley
