We arrived at the Austin American Statesman parking lot and waited for the scouts to arrive.  As they filtered in, we realized we may be able to haul everyone including the parents for the parade.  About 8:30, we loaded up the vehicles with kids and parents and staged ourselves.  As usual, the staging process has a lot of work needed to make it smooth but overall went well.  The kids however were becoming restless with the cold. (about 29F at sunrise)

Once the parade got started, it went without a hitch.  All the kids tossed candy, lots of pictures were taken, lots of hand waves and comments about the vehicles and then our return to the Statesman parking lot.  There was one casualty however.  Danny's M151A2 died after the parade and on his way back to the parking lot.  Scott and Bill M. drove Danny's truck and trailer to where it died, hooked up the winch and pulled the dead jeep onto the trailer and secured it.

Once secured, we returned to the parking lot and dropped off the remaining scouts with their parents.  By now, the temp had warmed up to 40F - maybe.....
