The family discussed what Dick's care should look like moving forward and it was discussed with the Hospice nurse as well. Karen's brother, Vern, arranged for 24 hour in-home care. As Karen and I headed for Pasadena to see our niece, Jessica, march in the Rose Parade, the new caregivers took over for us in Vern's home.
Our short week in LA included In-N-Out Burger and a few hours at Downtown Disney walking around soaking up the Disney atmosphere.
Bandfest on Tuesday was our first opportunity to see Jessica perform with her high school. She twirls many different sizes and colors of flags during their 10 minute routine. The theme was Arabian Nights and they played a song from Aladdin.
After Bandfest we made our way over to three different locations in Pasadena to see the parade floats getting their remaining flowers installed. I was surprised how meticulous they were in placing flowers and even the petals of the flowers on the various parts of the floats.
New Year's Eve is famously the busiest day of the year at Disneyland and that's where we were headed on Wednesday. We had a plan for the attractions we would ride in the morning and lunch reservations were made for just before noon at Cafe Orleans.
Jessica was due to march down Main Street around 4:30 pm so for the rest of the afternoon we shopped around the park, stood in line for a couple of more rides and staked out our viewing spot a couple of hours before showtime.
And then it was time for Jessica to shine as her school marched right down the middle of Main Street USA - DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF US.
We spend the rest of the evening waiting to ride Space Mountain and then watching the lights turn on on the Castle. Sarah show us how to take pictures with our phone.
Tomorrow would be ANOTHER fantastic day as we would see Jessica on Colorado Blvd in the Rose Parade.
