It took me 36 years to see my first parade. We didn't have any parades come down our dead end country road when I was growing up. My daughter was in a pageant at a local festival so she was riding on a float. I had a phone malfunction and didn't get a very good picture of her. She is on the far left.

I love hearing live bagpipes being played.

The Budweiser team was impressive to see.

OK, three pictures of the beer wagon and only ONE picture of the daughter's float...? :o
You are going to have some explaining to do. ;) :)
-
Like I said, phone malfunction. I tried getting more but I turned the camera off accidentally. Her float was moving pretty fast. The beer wagon stopped right in front of me for a while.
And I've never drank a beer in my life. I just thought it was a cool sight.
-
I was just joshing. Sorry.
:-[
-
I was to. No worries :)
I was pretty aggravated about not getting a better picture of her.

Gosh, your first parade. That's hard to believe. I grew up in Savannah and went to catholic parochial schools and a catholic, military high school. Savannah has a big Irish community and every St. Patrick's Day there was a parade, one of the 4th biggest St Patty's celebration in the US. From the 6th grade through high school I marched every year. The last 5 in a wool, dress white military uniform with an M-1 Garrand on my shoulder(9.5#) for about 5 hours. Some years March is cool in Savannah but many years it could be in the 70s or even 80s.
Glad you got to see a parade and especially since your daughter was in it.
-
congrats
-
Quite a parade there.

I grew up in the sticks Pat. First time I used a crosswalk with the light up guy telling you to walk or don't walk was on my senior trip in Orlando, Florida. I live on the border of two counties and neither one had a traffic light until a couple of years ago.
They had some old cars in the parade. Next year I might see if I can find somebody with an old truck to pull my camper in the parade.
-
Glad you enjoyed the parade, growing up in a rodeo town I've seen them since i could walk and back then we only had one stop light
-
Good idea Clint get that camper show cased in the next parade
-
First parade. and seeing it as an adult. May have been a bit like being a kid again, but with a man's life experiences. Must have been cool!
-
First time I ever saw a parade was a few years ago myself, it was a Christmas parade.
Talking about bagpipes, they had them at my mom's nursing home a week ago. It was cool but they were playing them indoors, talk about loud. several residents left the room shaking their heads and I had to plug my ears with kleenex

I grew up in Cody, Wyoming where they had a parade every night thru the summer for a rodeo they held for the tourists. I rode in the parade every night thru the summer for several years when I was a kid. They had a couple of events for us kids as well as all the events for the cowboys and girls. Guess I always wanted to be a cowboy. Joe

The little brat next to me kept snagging most of the candy. I was able to grab a few pieces before he got to them.
