A Celebration Fit for Champions

The Cubs World Series celebration has continued. The Merchandise Mart had a huge congratulations sign hanging in their entry way on Thursday morning (wow, that was fast).


And on Friday, the city had a huge celebration to honor the team.

They dyed the river blue in honor of the Cubs (first time in history). Mommy saw it live.












Pretty cool, right?

Well that wasn't all. There was a huge parade and celebration in Grant Park. Only thing is that 5,999,999 of Mommy's friends also thought it would be a good idea to come and celebrate with the Cubs too. That made it impossible to get anywhere near the celebration.












But Mommy and Rachel sure did their best to try.


But no luck,

But the very best part of the day was Mommy was able to get Grandpa a Cubs World Series Champions shirt to him in Texas before the start of the parade. I can honestly say I've never seen Grandpa so happy. And pretty sure Grandpa Mac was the only person in the Houston area that had one of these!


A fun fact: The Cubs World Series Celebration ranks as the 7th largest gathering of people of all time. Can you believe it? And I was in the city for it - and Mommy was in it! How cool is that?
