parade photos

I haven't had time to mention that on the Fourth we had a parade right in front of our house. It ran all the way down our street, Park Way. In the past we have gone to the parade in Hillsboro which is quite an event and lasts over two hours. This year we decided to check out the parade right out front. It lasted about an hour and was a fun community parade with many families and kids and dogs all dressed up in red, white and blue. They walked, rode bikes, pulled wagons, drove cars and there were a few floats as well. There was a father and son who drove their fancy motorcycles together and a little terrier dressed up as the Statue of Liberty and one momma who painted her pregnant belly. Very decorative. And of course no parade is complete without a bag of candy to take home.



The parade begins, little ones riding bikes, doggie paraders...



Fun tuba-like instruments, fancy cars...
