the parade finally reached were we were located and it was instantly amazing. There were so many floats and costumes and the people who were doing it seemed to enjoy every minute of it. There was such a wide variety of different species in the parade, I was only able to note a few; peacock (my favorite), crabs, butterflies, flies, seaweed, lions, mermaids, fish, bees, jellyfish, a geoduck and so much more! Over the course of the parade, onlookers looked just as amused…

Eve. If you want to see snow, you can just drive a couple of hours to the mountains! And then head home to warmer weather a few days later when you are sick of it! Parades!

C is for Chased One year I took Caden to the lights parade in our motorhome. We found a spot to park it and got there a few hours or so before the parade started. We had some time to waste so we started walking around. We were parked by a sort of bad neighborhood next to a giant straight up hill.

The baton twirlers performed a coordinated routine which started with the music played by the Salukis Marching band. These two twirlers rotated their batons very fast, then they tossed them into the air and jumped to catch it before it dropped to the floor. Then three rows of cheerleaders who were wearing a very sophisticated uniform made with the SIU colors, maroon, black and white, passed. Their uniforms are…
breeze of summer in the air and families gathering to celebrate the greatness of Memorial Day. On this day, I was attending the Memorial Day Parade in my hometown of Elmwood Park, New Jersey.
