Broughton Band in Tournament of Roses ParadeBroughton Band in Pasadena
Several parents of Broughton High band members will be blogging about the Raleigh band's trip to the prestigious Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif.

Freshmen present award

Great day yesterday- up early to visit the floats on day after the parade!!  Very cool to view them up close and see what exactly they use!  Potatoes, limes, lettuce, oranges. and a bazillion flowers!!!!  The Tournament of Roses certainly know how to let the public enjoy the whole process from the pre-parade preparations to the post-parade viewings!!

Off to Universal Studios- a first for many of us!!  The backlot tour watching how television and movie magic make the screen was unbelievable!  I can't wait to watch Universal Studios movies and TV shows more closely!!!

I really thought by the end of this trip that Uncle Troy was going to get the award for "Best Purchase in LA" with his Louis Vuitton loafers, but I'm afraid a group of freshman came in number one!  While at Universal, JR was presented an Academy Award from the freshman class.  One of his JRisms, especially to the freshman class is, "its time to take off your diapers and put on your pants", so they presented him with his own Academy Award, drumroll please.......

"WORLD'S BEST BABYSITTER!"

Too funny these kids are!!

Off to Seaworld today and home sweet home tomorrow. 

I wanted to thank WRAL for allowing us to blog this week and help our famly and friends feel like they have been on this once in a lifetime journey with us.  Its been an amazing week, one we will never forget!

Thanks for reading!!
