Yet Another Parade!

Yes we attended yet another parade. This time it was in East Granby for their town's 150th anniversary. My cousin Nicole marched with the middle school's color guard. The parade route was about 3 miles long and lasted about an hour and a half. Surprisingly the boys lasted through the whole thing. They had a lot of interesting groups and floats in this parade. Here are a few pictures from the day.


Grammy and the boys waiting for the parade to start. (We were lucky and the parade went right by Grammy's work so we sat on their front lawn, there was a lot of room for them to run around).



Amy and Henry. Henry is such a trooper, the temp. quickly got up into the 90's while we were there and he didn't fuss at all, soon after this he went to sleep for the whole parade.
They had this steel drum band that was pretty cool.

The East Granby Turkey's. Different businesses in town could buy a turkey and then have it painted. The doctors office my mom works for bought a turkey and Dr. Ewald's wife painted it. Their turkey is the one with the pill bottles for wings and with the stethoscope around its neck.
There was a group from an acrobat place. They stopped right in front of us and did a little show, there was a lot of flipping and dancing, the boys really liked that.
Here is the color guard, my cousin is in the back on the right, with a flag in front of her face, it was so sunny I couldn't see what I was taking a picture of.

This was one of my favorite floats. Their sign says "this is the way it was". I thought it was cute.
