In Minnesota, Easter normally means getting together with family, going to church, hiding and finding Easter eggs and eating. In New York City, apparently Easter is just an excuse to parade around wearing ridiculously complex Easter bonnets. Check out our photos below from the Easter Bonnet Parade to see what we're talking about. The term parade is used pretty loosely. It's more of a meandering of bonnet- and non-bonnet-wearing people down a lenghthy stretch of 5th Avenue that is closed to traffic for several hours on Easter Sunday.
Ok, not so bad.
Getting weirder...
A bit different...
I wonder what Halloween is like at their house.
The look on this guy's face is classic - "She's making me do this. It's humiliating."
And we've arrived at complete craziness.
This dog looks to be in physical pain.
There were a couple of cute bonnets too...
As you can see, many New Yorkers enjoy the parade!
Although we enjoyed the day, we hope to be back in MN with our families by next Easter. It just wasn't the same here. One Easter Bonnet Parade is enough for us!
