The parade always begins with the "red shirts" pulling Protection II
close up photo of "her" pretty gold leaf.....
My sister and my niece.... she wasn't one bit afraid of those noisy firetrucks and enjoyed waving to the folks in the parade
Our little red beetle bug carried the "queen" again this year
Protection II.... all done with her "ride" and getting ready to head to "bed" for another year...
Moxie "enjoying" the parade (I have had some concerns about her hearing lately... the fact that she slept thru this parade .... even with sirens blaring... tells me that she probably is pretty close to deaf!!!!)
