About 9:45AM this morning we went over to Dad's office. We waited for the parade to start at 10AM. It started with ONE uniformed Soldier carried the American flag. Along with him followed: A city policecar with our own Barney Fife, our local fire department with BOTH trucks throwing candy to the masses (which was all the town of a few hundred), three bands from surrounding towns, some pageant contestants, three church floats that threw out Mardi Gras beads and candy, LAWN mowers even though they were driving on asphalt and the good old standby TRACTORS.
Mom caught two beads-one blue and one purple (which were Mike and Dom colors) and I caught two beads-one green and one gold ( which were Pat and Tim colors)-YEEEEE HAAAAAAW!
The parade was finished in 7 minutes and then we drove back home. By the time we got home they were coming down our street and we watched it AGAIN!!! I believe we have about 5 streets to cover. So, why did we go to Dad's office and watch it when it was coming down our street? So, we could get MORE candy/beads and enjoy 14 minutes of a good parade. YEAH!
Later we went to the park and ate and Dad noticed that even out 'town dog' made it to the festivities. LOL
Oh so much fun in a small town.
