Bend Christmas Parade - December 2021

At the beginning of December, we went to the Bend Christmas Parade with the Farrells. We scouted a little spot on Newport at the base of the bridge and agreed to meet there before it started. Bend is not a big town and most of our streets are narrow with very little parking so we ended up walking quite a way to our spot by the time we found parking. Fun fact: here are still a bunch of streets in town that aren't paved. I love it so much. 

The parade consisted of floats sponsored by local businesses. Nothing too exciting but we did see Santa on the last float, which Naia referred to the rest of the holiday season. If I told her that we weren't allowed to see Santa on Christmas Eve, she would remind me that we had seen him in the parade. It was so sweet.
