🐘🐘🐘2010 February 1,Monday, Waiting and Watching the Elephants

I took Lora and her kids to Huntsville, and we parked next to the Train Depot. We had to bundle up because it was a cold February morning.

The streets near the train depot of Huntsville were lined with people of all ages waiting for the elephant.s

We went there to watch the Barnum Bailey Circus Elephants embark from the gray railway cars onto the streets and Parade down to the VBCC. 

The parade of elephants and their handler was escorted by the Huntsville Police Department.

The Elephants wore leather headsets that encircled their head and down the front of their noses with a blue sign that read "The Greatest Show on Earth.

The elephants held each other's tails as they paraded down the streets.

There were at least ten elephants, each of a different size.

It felt perfect to be inside a warm restaurant after standing in the cold for over an hour.

We ate lunch at Cracker Barrel in South Huntsville.
