Everybody Loves A Parade

Ahhh, yes, the Wasilla, Alaska 4th of July parade. Just like the parade I used to be in when I was a kid -- riding my horse with my 4-H group. Big cars, little cars, tractors of every size, horses, dogs, chickens in wagons, clowns, all the usual stuff. Anyone can join in, which became apparent as we sat there for close to 2 hours, unable to leave because of the road closures. Jamie & Avery got a kick out of it for sure, and thought they scored BIG with the candy. It's all relative -- they each got 4 or 5 pieces as they weren't very aggressive like the bigger kids. It rained all day, except during the parade -- lucky us.

First a quick pose for the sisters before we headed off to the paradeWe lucked into a great spot right along the routeJumping for joy, waiting for things to get startedThen they decided to wait in the van for awhile
