They were game, so instead of marching to the Downtown Mall, we drove there and walked around. All that was left of the protest were a few desiccated “snow angels” and a single sign. The girls decided they still wanted to have their own “parade”, so they stomped around crying “No More War!” and waving their umbrellas in the air.
