July 4th 10am, the parade




Each year, the town chooses a theme for the Fourth of July parade. This years' theme was "Go Green," quite possibly the stupidest theme for a parade ever! Think about it, huge diesel trucks pulling huge trailers and going five mph hours down the highway. Just how environmentally friendly is that? Our friends Becky and Katie rode white horses that had been painted head to hoof green and wore signs saying "organic fertilizer." (Sorry, I didn't catch that on the camera.) Despite the oxymoronic nature of the parade, a grand time was had by all. Priya liked waving to everyone. Silas was partial to the free bubble gum.

don't forget all the trash left after the parade. I've been to more than one "go green" themed parade and always have to laugh when you wade through the candy wrappers afterwards :) quite silly. Was still a fun day though, wasn't it?
