Okay, technical difficulties have been resolved and we’re ready to share all the details of Saturday’s Chinese New Year Parade!

This was Maile’s second year participating in the parade and once again we had an absolute blast. We headed downtown as a family at 3 PM and helped the kids get ready for the big parade. It was a long afternoon – the parade itself didn’t kick in until ~6:15 PM, but the kids barely noticed – they were having too much fun taking in all the sites and goofing around with each other. Once the parade started they were all business – the practice really paid off and they nailed their dance number to Uptown Funk each of the oh 30+ times they performed it along the route.

Here’s a close-up of Maile performing the complete number during a pre-parade practice…

And here are some fun shots from along the way…
