Go America! Parade Time

We went to the Willimantic Boom Box Parade today. Everyone in town comes out and blares the patriotic (aka Philip Sousa) music playing on the local AM station. The parade is open to anyone that wants to march, or ride or drive. It's nice to see a community come together. It's also nice to see 30 year old boom boxes borrowed from the local antique store!!!

It lasted about 1 hour and twenty minutes. In the sun. With a toddler... It was a lot of fun! Robby had a great time watching the trucks and running around Memorial Park. My Mom's in town and hanging out with us -- so it was a family affair!

The day started with a tractor.

Ain't that the truth

There's a joke and some truth in this 

Robby has a book called "the Little Blue Truck"

Lots of cool cars

Mexican Flag heads

And terrible spy, though we appreciate the effort

Look at those 20's

Is she coming?

Do you see her granny?

There she is!

The sign's as big as the car. And they had to push it!

There is no mercy in this dojo 

Put him in a body bag, Johnny.

Aw, Fishy Fishy

That's one way to recycle an old Saturn

Christina put together a real good slide show of the parade today.
