It must be the third Saturday in August, because we found ourselves heading to the hometown for the annual Firemen's Muster. This has been such a big part of my life, that even now, I just can't miss out!!! To my knowledge, I have never missed one, in my whole entire life... so let's not break the track record now!!! Sadie had to work, so we packed up Abbi and Ginger (and all the other dogs too) and sat curb side waiting for the parade.
I was a little concerned as to how Abbie and Ginger would handle all the noise of the parade, so I had an escape route all planned out, but as it turns out... it wasn't needed.
"Block your ears Abbie... here they come"
Our little beetle had the honor of carrying the fire queen... "Miss Flame"
And after the parade, we walked down to the park where the games were played. They have worked hard to make this a family event and I think it's coming along....
there was a pretty good crowd. It was fun to see all our friends, and of course, a great place to get some work in with Ginger....
Kassy and Diana.... best friends almost since the day they were born.. and now "best friend aunties" together!!!!!
My Dad, still knows how to run the firetrucks... and has been a volunteer firefighter for 55 years!!!!!! (can even begin to think how many hours he has given to the fire company!!! serving as Chief among all the other "jobs" he has done!!!) --- love you and so proud Dad!!!!!
all the usual games were played!!!!
And the day ended with the clambake. Abbie is getting used to these "red lobster things" that we enjoy so much....
She wasn't so sure at her first encounter of them a few weeks ago!!!!!
Steamers, lobsters, fire trucks, family...... service dogs......
let's call it a perfect traditional day!!!!
