Lodi Lighted Parade

Tonight was the Lodi Lighted Night Parade. For many years Emily marched in this very parade twirling either her lighted baton (when she was little) or her fire baton (when she was a bit older). Now that she's competitively swimming year-round, something had to give, and for her it was her baton twirling. She really misses it sometimes--especially when we go to a parade. She's used to being IN the parade, not watching it. Anyway, this is one of our favorite parades with all entries decked out in lights.
