Delighted, shrieking children were barely able to contain themselves Thursday as Barbie rolled past and enormous Shrek and Snoopy balloons floated overhead in the traditional Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Unseasonably balmy weather, (온화한 날씨) with temperatures around 60 degrees, helped draw hordes of families (큰 무리) to the parade route to see the floats, helium balloons, marching bands and roller-blading clowns. (롤러스케이트를 탄 광대들)
