I love this parade!! I wait for it every year. This year, I wasn't able to watch all of it due to other obligations. Was it just me or were they not naming the flowers used on the floats like they usually do? That's my second favorite part next to looking at the work that goes into them. I was watching the one with Al Roker.

Please note that Al Roker was on the Today Show this morning. Which Al Roker segment was pre-recorded? Could he have flown out there that fast? I doubt it.
