Tampa, FL -- Gasparilla season is upon us once again, and while the adults wait it out for next week's invasion, children had all the fun today.
About a thousand kids and their parents got all dressed up for the Gasparilla Pre-schoolers Stroll. These pint-sized pirates traveled from Bay-to-Bay Boulevard all the way to Howard Ave. in some pretty creative strollers.
